Introduction: Obtaining tumor-free margins during breast conservative surgery (BCS) is essential to avoid local recurrence and frequently requires reoperation.

This study analyzes the efficacy and safety of RFA after BCS to obtain free surgical margins.

Material And Methods: Retrospective and descriptive study of 67 patients who underwent 68 LA between January-1998 and December-2008 in the Laparoscopic Surgery Unit of the General and Digestive Surgery Service in a third level hospital (only one case of bilateral LA). The group was divided in 2 periods, P-1 (1998-2003, 22 cases) and P-2 (2004-2008, 45 cases), which have been compared to evaluate the evolution of the LA technique.
