Presurgical mammography - or ultrasound-guided marking

If any of the tests made at our Polyclinic reveal a pathological finding that requires surgical treatment, we are able to perform the required procedure at the time that suits you best. To facilitate extirpation of a nonpalpable breast lesion or if, for any reason, its precise and complete removal looks uncertain, presurgical marking, i.e. marking of breast changes under ultrasound or mammography guidance will be done directly before the surgery. The technique of choice depends on which of the two could better visualize the change. The marking is done with a specially designed needle having an anchor at one end, which firmly anchors the needle in the tissue portion to be removed. During the procedure, the needle guides the surgeon right to the site.
