    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Techniques
    • Anatomy
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Axillary lymph node biopsy is crucial for cancer staging.
    • Current methods can involve extensive dissection and longer incisions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel technique for axillary lymph node excisional biopsy.
    • To improve the efficiency and reduce invasiveness of the procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • The described technique involves suspending the patient's arm anterior to the chest in an adducted position.
    • This maneuver medially displaces the pectoralis major muscle.
    • It positions the axillary lymph nodes for easier access.

    Main Results:

    • The technique facilitates excisional biopsy of axillary lymph nodes.
  • It allows for a relatively short incision.
  • It minimizes the need for extensive dissection.

    • Conclusions:

    • This method offers a simplified approach to axillary lymph node biopsy.
    • The described positioning technique enhances accessibility and reduces surgical trauma.
