Efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted versus endoscopic-assisted axillary lymph node dissection in node-positive breast cancer: a retrospective comparative study
Compared with E-ALND, R-ALND significantly reduces intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications, with less impact on upper limb function and sensory outcomes. These findings indicate that R-ALND may provide better clinical benefits for patients requiring axillary lymph node dissection in the management of breast cancer.
