| Objective Intercostobrachial nerve is often removed during the process of modified radical mastectomy of breast cancer.leading to a series of complications in large quantities of breast cancer patients.including sensation and movement abnormalities of the upper arm.negatively affect postoperative quality of life.This paper aims to explore the feasibility and influence of preserving intercostobrachial nerve in modified radical mastectomy of breast cancer.so as to provide important reference value for the development of modified radical mastectomy in clinical work.Methods 106 patients.diagnosed with breast cancer from January 2019 to January 2021.were randomly divided into two groups.The observation group was performed with the intercostobrachial nerve reserved.while the control group was not.Baseline information and perioperative period data were collected.Pain of upper arm.sensory and motor function of the two groups were evaluated at 1 month,3 months and 6 months after surgery.Psychological status and quality of life of the two groups were evaluated as well.Recurrence rate.metastasis rate and short-term survival rate of the two groups were followed up.Results Compared with the control group,there was no significant difference in the general information.complication rate and long-term efficacy of the observation group with the intercostobrachial nerve preserved.However,the observation group was superior to the control group in terms of postoperative upper arm motor function.sensory function.pain.psychological status and quality of life.with statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion Preserving the intercostobrachial nerve during modified radical mastectomy can achieve similar clinical effects.However.preserving the intercostobrachial nerve can further reduce the incidence of postoperative pain.sensation and movement abnormalities of the upper arm.and significantly improve the psychological condition and quality of life of the patients.which has practical significance. |
