Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effect the LYMPHA technique on the incidence of upper limb lymphedema in patients with breast cancer after complete axillary lymph node dissection.
Material and methods: There were 89 patients with breast cancer and signs of metastatic lesion of axillary lymph nodes who underwent complete axillary lymph dissection. In group 1 (41 patients), the LYMPHA technique was used simultaneously with lymph node dissection; in group 2 (48 patients) - lymph node dissection alone.
Results: The follow-up period was 1 year. The LYMPHA technique prolonged surgery and decreased duration of postoperative lymphorrhea. The incidence of upper limb lymphedema was 9.8% and 22.9%, respectively.
Conclusion: The LYMPHA technique was effective for prevention of upper limb lymphedema after complete axillary lymph node dissection in the treatment of breast cancer.
