Published: November 1987

A technique for improved localization and surgical excision of nonpalpable breast lesions is described. The method employs an atraumatic outer stiffening cannula which is available in a variety of lengths and eliminates several of the technical difficulties encountered during these procedures. Successful initial excision of over 50 consecutive nonpalpable breast lesions has been obtained with this technique.
