0.81-2.33; P = .243), and operation time (MD = À1.37; 95% CI, À4.11 to 1.38; P = .33), RSL have comparable outcomes vs WGL.Ahmed 5 combined six RCTs involving ROLL versus WGL together with one RSL versus WGL for meta-analysis. RSL had favorable outcomes in operative time; however, it was inferior to WGL in volume of excised breast tissue. Lovrics 6 analyzed five RCTs and seven nonrandomized studies involving ROLL and RSL together versus WGL. RSL was found to be superior to WGL in surgical margins and re-operation rates. Chan BKY 7 combined six RCTs involving ROLL versus WGL together with two RSL versus WGL for meta-analysis. RSL demonstrated superior results in positive tumor margins, and re-operation rates over WGL, but neither had statistical significance. Besides,they also found that WGL had fewer postoperative complications to RSL, although this was also not statistically significant. Ahmed 8 combined one RCT and four nonrandomized studies involving RSL vs WGL for meta-analysis. RSL was found to be superior to WGL in terms of involved surgical margin status, re-operation rates, and operative time. However, there was no significant difference in volume of specimen excised.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
