The overall complication rate was 19.8%, with a 4.4% lymphedema rate. The lymphedema rate was higher among patients who had more nodes removed. An average of 2.5 LNs were removed with dual mapping vs. 2.0 with technetium alone (p\u2009=\u20090.15). Breast massage had no effect on the number of SLNs removed (p\u2009=\u20090.12) but did impact blue dye uptake (p\u2009=\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Surgical technique did not significantly impact the number of nodes removed.
