A Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing Tumescent Dissection Technique vs Non-Tumescent Technique in Breast Surgeries
Abstract: Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women worldwide and remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Tumescent dissection has been suggested to improve surgical outcomes compared to the traditional non-tumescent approach. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of tumescent dissection versus non-tumescent techniques in breast surgeries. Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study compared outcomes between two groups undergoing breast surgery using either the tumescent dissection technique or the conventional non-tumescent technique. Outcomes assessed included operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain, seroma formation, flap viability, drain output, and postoperative complications. Results: The tumescent group demonstrated significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss, shorter operative duration, and lower postoperative pain scores compared with the non-tumescent group (p
