Introduction: The aim of this pilot retrospective study is to evaluate the complication rate in patients after axillary dissection comparing preparation with harmonic scalpel vs traditional ligation technique, and to analyse risk factors for complications occurrence. Methods: 144 patients with 148 axillary dissections operated in a single centre between January 2014 and 2019 were included into the study. Axillary dissection was performed using harmonic scalpel in 73 and absorbable ligations in 70 cases. Results: Seroma formation was observed in 41 patients (56.2%) in the harmonic scalpel group and in 21 patients (30.0%) in the ligations group (p=0.003). The mean period from the surgery to drain removal was 4.0 days in the harmonic scalpel group and 3.0 days in the ligations group (p<0.001). The mean amount of the drained fluid after mastectomy was 300.9 ml in the harmonic scalpel group and 168.7 ml in the ligations group (p=0.005); after breast conserving surgery, it was 241.9 ml and 107.4 ml, respectively (p =0.023). Conclusion: In comparison with traditional ligations with absorbable material, axillary dissection using harmonic scalpel significantly increases the risk of postoperative seroma formation, prolongs the time from the surgery to drain removal, and increases the amount of drained fluid.ut any suspicion of nodal involvement, hemithyroidectomy is considered to be a sufficient procedure or the method of choice, respectively.
