Mastoscopic axillary lymph node dissection (MALND) offers a safe and effective surgical technique for breast cancer patients. This standardized approach demonstrates minimal complications and efficient operation times.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Breast Cancer Management

Background:

  • Axillary lymph node dissection is a critical component of breast cancer staging and treatment.
  • Standardization of surgical techniques is essential for consistent patient outcomes.
  • Mastoscopic axillary lymph node dissection (MALND) presents a minimally invasive alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To standardize the surgical technique for mastoscopic axillary lymph node dissection (MALND).
  • To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and anatomical considerations of MALND.
  • To establish MALND as a practicable and convenient surgical option.

Main Methods:

  • A consistent surgical technique for MALND was performed by a group of surgeons.
  • The study included 316 cases of breast cancer.

  • Key anatomical structures were identified to ensure safe dissection.

    • Main Results:

    • The mean operation time was 46.7 minutes with minimal bleeding.
    • A median of 17.0 lymph nodes were dissected per operation.
    • No operative complications, trocar implantation, or tumor diffusion were observed during a mean follow-up of 15.1 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Mastoscopic axillary lymph node dissection (MALND) is a distinctive, practicable, safe, and convenient surgical procedure.
    • Clear identification of critical anatomy, including nerves and vessels, is crucial for successful MALND.
    • MALND offers significant advantages in operative anatomy and patient safety for breast cancer management.
