Rapid Implementation of Intraoperative Ultrasonography to Reduce Wire Localization in The Permanente Medical Group.

CONCLUSION: A multifacility protocol using intraoperative ultrasonography to visualize hydrogel clips was implemented, which decreased WL procedures and produced no significant difference in margin positivity between the WL and non-WL groups. This technique can be a cost-effective alternative to WL in patients who are candidates for hydrogel clip placement. PMID: 31314730 [PubMed - in process]
