갑상선 종양의 유방-액와 접근법의 수술후 만족도 비교: 고식적 수술과 비교

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare postoperative pain and cosmetic satisfaction between 2012, we made a survey of satisfaction on 59 patients who visited Dongsan breast thyroid cancer center. Using structured questionnaire, the patients were evaluated a week after the operation and six month after the operation. The participants were divided into two groups such as conventional neck approach group (n=36) and breast-axillary bilateral approach group (n=23). Postoperative cosmetic satisfaction was much better in breast-axillary bilateral approach group (p =0.019). However, postoperative pain was significantly worse in breast-axillary bilateral group (p =0.005). Breast-axillary bilateral approach have cosmetic benefits but postoperative pain is worse than conventional neck approach. Therefore, we need to explain about postoperative pain during preoperative counseling and aggressively control pain during immediate postoperative period.
