operasyonda sonra sinirlerde bir zarar oluşmaması için yapılan işleme preservation deniyor ama -bunu mu kast etmiş metin bilmiyorum. " dissecting it free to the point" dediği olay işte askıya alma olayı.

The benefits of preserving the nerve have been claimed in terms of a reduction in sensory symptoms, deficits and the resulting sensation of swelling. Preservation of the nerve involves its identification within the axillary fat and dissecting it free to the point where it enters the arm just anterior to where the latissimus dorsi crosses the axillary vein. Sometimes the main trunks are preserved but not smaller branches.

IMO
