A randomized prospective study comparing ultrasonic shears with electrocautery for post-operative morbidity in modified radical mastectomy

Background: Modified radical mastectomy is commonly performed surgery for breast carcinoma. The present study was conducted to compare intra-operative and post-operative surgical outcomes by using monopolar electrocautery ultrasonic shears in MRM. Methods: A randomized prospective with a sample size of 60 patients who were into two groups. One group underwent MRM (Group A) the other one B). Intra-and compared. Results: Group had less blood loss it statistically significant. pain score on post op day 1 However, time drain output but insignificant. complication (seroma formation, wound infection, hematoma formation flap necrosis) B A, patient early removal B, significantly. Conclusions: Ultrasonic significantly lesser bleeding, operative complications, removal, score, when compared group. groups no significant difference time.
