How it Works
Your Axillary Lymph Node Clearance Journey at Even Hospitals
Step 1Consultation & Diagnosis
After consultation, breast imaging, biopsy, and axillary ultrasound or FNAC, your surgeon plans the level of clearance through the multidisciplinary tumour board.
Step 2Surgical Planning
The extent of clearance (level I-II vs I-III) is decided based on clinical, radiological, and sentinel-node findings. Anaesthesia and lymphoedema-prevention advice are discussed pre-operatively.
Step 3Axillary Dissection
The axillary contents are cleared systematically level by level with careful nerve preservation. The specimen is sent for pathological staging and a closed-suction drain is placed.
Step 4Recovery & Follow-Up
Recovery takes 3 - 6 weeks; early physiotherapy is started; histopathology and tumour board review guide adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or endocrine therapy.
