Mastoscopic axillary lymph node dissection (MALND) is a currently used and safe surgical treatment option for breast cancer. However, the extensive application of MALND is still debatable because of the use of conventional axillary lymph node dissection (CALND). Therefore, in the current study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of MALND and CALND for obtaining evidence-based conclusions about the short-term and long-term outcomes of MALND for patients with breast cancer. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CNKI were comprehensively searched for articles published between January 1998 and January 2019. Then Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used for quality assessment. The Review Manager software version 5.0 was utilized for generating forest maps and funnel plots. Twelve studies including 2157 patients were selected for the meta-analysis. There were no significant differences in the number of lymph node dissections, tumor recurrence rate, axillary drainage, postoperative hospitalization time, and tumor size between the MALND and CALND groups ( P > .05). In the MALND group, the surgery time was longer, while the incidence of intraoperative bleeding was lesser and the duration of drainage was shorter than those in the CALND group ( P < .01). The complications in the MALND group were also fewer than those in the CALND group ( P < .05). The results of the current study showed that MALND is reliable and feasible for breast cancer owing to the lesser incidence of intraoperative bleeding, shorter drainage duration, and lower incidence of complications compared to CALND.
