Brief Summary: RATIONALE Fibrin sealant may decrease lymphedema following surgery to remove lymph nodes in the groin by helping to seal the lymphatic vessels It is not yet known if fibrin sealant is effective in decreasing lymphedema following surgery to remove lymph nodes

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of fibrin sealant in reducing lymphedema following surgical removal of lymph nodes in patients who have cancer of the vulva
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the incidence of lymphedema of the lower extremity after lymph node dissection in patients with vulvar malignancies treated with fibrin sealant vs standard care
Compare the frequency of surgical complications in patients treated with fibrin sealant vs standard care

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I After radical vulvectomy or hemivulvectomy and lymphadenectomy patients receive fibrin sealant to surgical site
Arm II After surgery patients receive standard care for closure of surgical site

Lymphedema is assessed at time of drain removal at week 6 and then at months 3 and 6

Patients are followed at week 6 and at months 3 and 6

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 120-130 patients 60-65 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 2 years
