摘要

Background

In recent years, some scholars have proposed the usage of ultrasonic scalpel in endoscopic transaxillary breast augmentation to achieve safer and more effective results. In order to compare electric cautery with ultrasonic scalpel on their effectiveness and safety in breast augmentation surgery, we performed a self-control study.

Methods

From June 2022 to January 2025, a total of 45 cases of transaxillary endoscopic breast augmentation surgery were included in the study. All cases were performed by dual-plane technique. Drainage volume, surgical time, postoperative complications were compared and evaluated on both sides.

Results

The total postoperative drainage volume in the electric cautery group and the ultrasonic scalpel group was as follows: 268.3±130.0 ml and 274.7±141.7 ml. The average number of drainage days was 4.2±0.9 days. The surgical time for the electric cautery (13.8±2.9 min) was shorter than that for ultrasonic scalpel (15.6±3.4 min). There is no significant difference between the use of electric cautery and ultrasonic scalpel in endoscopic breast augmentation surgery in terms of reducing postoperative bleeding, shortening drainage time, and hospital stay.

Conclusion

There are no advantages to perform the endoscopic transaxillary breast augmentation surgery with the usage of ultrasonic scalpel, and even the operation time may be extended.
