Reflector-guided breast tumor localization versus wire localization for lumpectomies: A comparison of surgical outcomes

To compare surgical outcomes of SAVI SCOUT reflector localization (SSL) versus wire localization (WL) for breast tumors. Retrospective review of 42 SSL cases and 42 WL cases. WL patients were consecutively matched for clinical-pathologic features. Final surgical outcome measures were tumor specimen...

Description
Summary:To compare surgical outcomes of SAVI SCOUT reflector localization (SSL) versus wire localization (WL) for breast tumors. Retrospective review of 42 SSL cases and 42 WL cases. WL patients were consecutively matched for clinical-pathologic features. Final surgical outcome measures were tumor specimen volume, margin status, and re-excision rates. No significant differences were present in median specimen volumes (SSL-15.2cm3 vs. WL-16.3cm3), positive margin rate (SSL-9.5% vs. WL-7.1%), close margin rate (SSL-7.1% vs. WL-11.9%) or re-excision rate (SSL-7.1% vs. WL-9.5%). SSL is an acceptable alternative to WL with no significant differences in surgical outcomes. •This is a comparison of surgical outcomes of SAVI SCOUT reflector localization versus wire localization for breast tumors.•There are no significant differences in median specimen volumes, positive margin rate, close margin rate or re-excision rate.•SSL is an acceptable alternative to WL with no significant differences in surgical outcomes.
