Dual technique for preoperative localization of nonpalpable breast lesions.
The combination of guide wire and dye techniques for preoperative localization of nonpalpable breast lesions is superior to either technique alone. The dye acts as a backup in the event of migration, transection or removal of the wire, which has occurred in 2 (1.3%) of 154 localizations of breast lesions at the author's institution.
