Magnetic Seed Localization (Magseed) for excision of impalpable breast lesions-The North Wales experience.

The breast surgical community has faced huge challenges due to close working relationships with radiologists who are in short supply. Breast lesion localization is moving away from the traditional wire technique, which requires an on-site radiologist to support theater scheduling. In North Wales, the introduction of Magseed for impalpable breast lesion localization has facilitated theater scheduling in the absence of same day radiology presence.
