Abstract：Objective To study the effect of modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer by preserving intercostobrachial nerve.Methods Clinical data was from 65 patients undergone modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer from March 2012 to October 2014 in our hospital.According to randomly sealed envelope，they were divided into two groups of preserved group and non-preserved group.In the non-preserved group，intercostobrachial nerve was removed，while in the preserved group，intercostobrachial nerve was kept.The operation time，intraoperative amount of bleeding，number of lymph node dissection，abnormal sensation of skin area，and incidence of postoperative complications in the two groups were compared.Besides，the difference on quality of life after surgery was compared.Results In the preserved group，the operation time，intraoperative amount of bleeding，and number of lymph node dissection were similar to those in the non-preserved group，the difference was not statistically significant（P＞0.05）.In the preserved group，abnormal sensation of skin area was smaller than that in the non-preserved group，the difference was statistically significant（P＜0.01）.The incidence of postoperative complications in the preserved group was lower than that in the non-preserved group，the difference was statistically significant（P＜0.01）.The quality of life after surgery was much better in the preserved group than that in the non-preserved group，the difference was statistically significant（P＜0.01）. Conclusion Effect of modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer by preserving intercostobrachial nerve is definite，which can effectively avoid the occurrence of skin sensory disturbance in armpit and upper arm，and is beneficial to reduce the postoperative complications and promote quality of life after surgery，and is worthy of promotion.
