Summary

Authors in this randomised prospective study, which occurred in years 2007 to 2008 on the St. Anne’s First Surgical Clinic in 56 breast cancer female patients, compare the results of minimally invasive axillary dissection to those of the classical axillary dissection and point to the advantages and setbacks of this new method both for the patient and surgeon.

Key words:
breast carcinoma – axillary dissections – lymph nodes
