| Popis: | Background: Wire-guided localisation (WGL) is the most widely used approach to excise impalpable breast lesions in breast conserving surgery (BCS). There are several disadvantages to this technique. There are a variety of methods available, each with its own imperfections, therefore a superior approach is much desired. Here we report the efficacy of carbon-track localisation (CL) as an adjunct to hookwire in terms of margins, complications and operating time. Methods: A consecutive series of patients with impalpable breast lesions undergoing either CL combined with WGL or just WGL alone from 2016 to 2017 were evaluated in this retrospective cohort study. Of 57 patients, 27 CLs with WGL and 30 WGLs alone were performed. Results: All breast lesions were successfully localised pre-operatively and excised in both groups. Involved margins for invasive or in-situ disease were found in 14% in the CL group and 24% in the WGL group (p = 0.70). Close margins of |
