“…Resection or damage to the ICBN in ALND limits the activities of the upper limbs of patients after surgery and causes post-mastectomy pain syndrome, such as pain, numbness, and sensory disturbance in the lateral thoracic wall, axilla, and arms; this occurs in 18-50% of patients and has been documented by many studies (Paredes et al, 1990;Wong, 2001;Freeman et al, 2003) to seriously influence the postoperative quality of life for patients with breast cancer. The pain is persistent in most cases and rarely resolves spontaneously or by conventional analgesia (McIntosh and Purushotham, 1998;Carpenter et al, 1999;Kodama et al, 2012).…”

“…Furthermore, ICBN syndrome is mainly responsible for the chronic discomfort in patients with breast cancer after surgery due to the poor efficacy of drugs for neuropathic pain (Carpenter et al, 1999). Paredes et al (1990) followed up patients with breast cancer for 3 years after surgery and found that ICBN preservation did not affect the long-term survival of patients. The patients in our study were followed up for 1 to 9 months and no local recurrences or metastases were observed, which was consistent with the literature.…”

“…Sua lesão pode ocorrer durante DA e se manifesta, na maioria das pacientes, como anestesia ou hipoestesia, podendo ocorrer hiperestesia em alguns casos 7 . Poucos estudos na literatura abordaram a preservação cirúrgica do nervo ICB durante o DA 3,5,7,8 . Em nosso serviço, avaliamos a sensibilidade cutânea em mulheres que se submeteram ao DA com e sem preservação do nervo ICB e observamos que quando o nervo é preservado durante a abordagem axilar, há melhora significativa do déficit sensorial e menor morbidade 5 .…”

“…Pain affected daily life considerably or more in about 10% of the patients. Factors that have been suggested to predispose to chronic pain after breast cancer surgery include damage to the intercostobrachial nerve during axillary evacuation (2)(3)(4), radiotherapy (5-1 1) and chemotherapy (8,12).…”
