Preservation versus dissection of the intercostobrachial nerve for breast cancer surgeries: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis revealed that the preservation of the ICBN has a significant effect on the disturbance of sensory parameters of hypaesthesia and anaesthesia when compared to its dissection. Further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to precisely compare both techniques on a wider range of parameters.PMID:38333310 | PMC:PMC10849353 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001622
