Abstract
BACKGROUND The transaxillary approach of breast augmentation is the most popular method in Asia, but longer period of recovery was observed in spite of the assistance of endoscope. OBJECTIVES Introducing the ultrasonic dissection devices might be a solution to minimizing tisue damage thus relieving pain and shortening the period of recovery. METHOD Between March 2020 and September 2022, we retrospectively reviewed the cases of 122 patients underwent endoscopic augmentation mammoplasty via the transaxillary approach using either the monopolar electrotome (ME) alone or assisted with Harmonic Scalpel (HS) in defining the retropectoral pocket and severing the pectoralis major muscle. RESULT The total drainage volume was significantly lower in the HS group than ME group (74.33 ± 48.81 vs. 180.30 ± 125.10 mL; p < 0.0001). VAS score of the first 24 hour after surgery of the ME group was significantly higher than that of the HS group (6.10 ± 1.27 vs. 2.88 ± 1.29, p < 0.0001). Operation time in HS group was reduced compared to ME group (113.1 ± 14.46 mins vs. 131.3 ± 35.51 mins, p < 0.001). The duration of drainage placement (1.08 ± 0.27 vs. 2.72 ± 1.18 days) and hospital stay after surgery (3.08 ± 0.42 vs. 5.64 ± 2.78 days; p < 0.0001) were largely reduced in HS group. CONCLUSION The assistance of Harmonic Scalpel significantly reduced total postoperative drainage, relieved pain and shortened operation time, length of drainage placement and hospital stay compared to using monopolar electrotome alone in endoscopic-assisted transaxillary dual-plane augmentation mammaplasty.
