OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of ultrasound-guided Mammotome -assisted resection vs. conventional open surgery for benign breast tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From July 2019 to December 2020, 134 suitable patients with benign breast cancers treated at our institution (Breast Surgery Department) were recruited and randomly allocated (1:1) to receive either Mammotome-assisted tumor excision (observation group) or open surgery (control group). The primary endpoint was clinical effectiveness, with surgical outcomes, complications, and satisfaction as secondary endpoints. RESULTS: Mammotome-assisted surgery resulted in shorter operative time, scar length, and postoperative healing time and less intraoperative bleeding volume vs. open surgery (p<0.001). Mammotome-assisted surgery was associated with a significantly higher clinical efficacy vs. open surgery (p<0.05). Patients receiving Mammotome-assisted surgery had a lower incidence of complications vs. those given open surgery (p<0.05). A significantly higher satisfaction was observed in patients given Mammotome -assisted surgery vs. open surgery (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In comparison to standard open surgery, ultrasound-guided Mammotome-assisted surgery provides a viable alternative for breast benign tumor removal with superior efficacy, shorter operating time, less trauma, higher safety, fewer complications, and higher patient satisfaction.
