 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Keep intercostal nerve during modified radical mastectomy and clinical significance of Of: Zhao Yanfeng Li Hui Jiang Guoxu Cheng Cui [Abstract] Objective To investigate the retention ICBN (ICBN) in breast cancer axillary lymph node dissection for the feasibility and clinical value. Methods 76 patients with breast cancer axillary lymph node dissection line, free and retain the fatty tissue of the armpit the ICBN, after testing the back of ipsilateral sensory function in the upper arm. Results after posterior upper arm paresthesia rate was 5.26% (4 / 76), 2 weeks after the symptoms disappeared after 1 to 6 months follow-up no local recurrence. Conclusions axillary lymph node dissection reserved ICBN, can significantly reduce the mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) the incidence rate is conducive to improving quality of life of patients with certain clinical value . [Keywords:] breast cancer; intercostal nerve; axillary lymph node dissection [Abstract] Objective To investigate the possibility and clinical significance of reserving intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN) during the modified radical mastectomy. Methods 76 cases of breast carcinoma were treated by the modified radical mastectomy. The intereostobrachial nerves were saved in lymph node dissection. After operation , the sensation of ill side’s upper arm was observed. Results 5.26% patients had abnormal sensation on the skin of medial upper arms after operation, and the symptoms disappeared 2 weeks later. No recurrence was found during 1 to 6 month. follow up.Conclusion Reserving ICBN in axillary lymph node dissection for the patients with breast cancer, which has certain clinical values, can obviously reduce the incidence of pain syndrome and improve the life quality of the patients after operations.
