Background: Wire localization (WL) for nonpalpable tumours has been the gold standard localization technique in breast conserving surgery. However, issues such as patient discomfort, schedule inflexibility, and dislodgement can be encountered. SAVI SCOUT® (SSL), uses radar localization and can be inserted up to a month pre-operatively and was introduced in this institution in February 2023. This study aims to assess oncological outcomes as well user reported outcomes using WL vs. SSL in a tertiary referral centre.
