Background: Reexcision after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is costly for patients, but few studies have captured the economic burden to a healthcare system. We quantified operating room (OR) charges as well as OR time and then modeled expected savings of a reexcision reduction initiative.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort review of all breast cancer patients with BCS between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020.
