20.500.12556/DiRROS-17429 Vacuum biopsy of the breast experience of St-Jan hospital in Brugge Background. Mammotome is a percutaneous biopsy technique with a large needle, assisted by vacuum aspiration. The single insertion technique allows to collect multiple large tissue samples, which gives a more reliable histological result. The technique can be used under stereotactic, MRl or ultrasound guidance. The technique is used under local anesthesia, on an outpatient basis. Conclusions. Altough it is essentially a diagnostic technique, it has a therapeutic potential in some cases. Recently, the technique has been FDA approved for the removal of benign nodular lesions. Worldwide, over 2 million procedures have already been performed. It has the potential to replace surgical open biopsy, with a similar accuracy and at a lower cost, and it is less invasive. true false true Association of Radiology and Oncology Ljubljana Angleški jezik Ni določen by Authors Neznano 2023-12-01 14:42:01 2023-12-01 14:42:02 2023-12-02 03:38:15 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2004 0 0 Kadivec M, et al, editors. 4. mednarodna mamografska šola; 2004; Ljubljana; BSDOCID113164; str.
