PurposeThe American College of Surgeons Oncology Group trial Z0011 was a prospective, randomized, multicenter trial comparing overall survival between patients with positive sentinel lymph nodes ( SLNs) who did and did not undergo axillary lymph node dissection ( ALND). The current study compares complications associated with SLN dissection ( SLND) plus ALND, versus SLND alone.Patients and MethodsFrom May 1999 to December 2004, 891 patients were randomly assigned to SLND + ALND ( n = 445) or SLND alone ( n = 446). Information on wound infection, axillary seroma, paresthesia, brachial plexus injury ( BPI), and lymphedema was available for 821 patients.ResultsAdverse surgical effects were reported in 70% ( 278 of 399) of patients after SLND + ALND and 25% ( 103 of 411) after SLND alone ( P
