Pantiora E, Jazrawi A, Hersi A-F, Abdsaleh S, Ahlstedt H, Molnar E et al.
JAMA Surg 2024; 159: 239-246.
In this study that included 426 procedures, there were more failed localisation procedures with wire-guided localisation than the magnetic seed method (10.1 versus 1.9 percent of procedures, P<0.001), and it was quicker.
Comment: Magnetic seed method quicker and more effective.
