A modified needle-hookwire technique to simplify preoperative localization of occult breast lesions.

Abstract

Accurate preoperative localization of breast lesions is important to ensure removal of the suspected area without also removing large quantities of tissue. By using a hook retracted into the needle lumen, repositioning prior to the final anchoring of the wire in the tissue is simplified.

Excisional biopsy of impalpable soft tissue tumors US-guided preoperative localization in 12 cases

“…Initially, needle placement was performed with radiographic control (Kopans and DeLuca 1980). However, with the development of high-resolution (high-frequency) transducers, US is more frequently used for guided percutaneous punctures and biopsies in even the smallest soft tissue tumors (Otto and Deyhle 1980, Reading et al 1988, Schwartz et al 1988, Matalon and Silver 1990.…”

Hook, Line, and Sinker: Hook Wire Localization of a Retained Suture Needle in the Perineum

“…Preoperative localization of breast lesions with a hook wire has become a standard radiologic practice (2). This technique is advantageous because the needle is accurately positioned under imaging guidance, and when deployed, the hook maintains the wire in position until the patient can undergo surgical resection of the suspicious lesion.…”

Total Excision Accompanied by Roll in Non-Palpable Breast Lesion

“…PEML'nın lokalizasyonu için birkaç yöntem tanımlanmıştır. Bunların arasında altın standart MG veya USG eşliğinde tel ile işaretleme yöntemidir (31)(32)(33)(34). Fakat tel ile işaretlemenin; telin yer değiştirmesi, kopması, hastaya ve personele zarar vermesi, pnömotoraks, malign vakalarda yetersiz cerrahi sınır, hasta için rahatsız edici olması gibi bazı dezavantajları vardır.…”
