Background: The Savi Scout® radar system is a novel approach for localizing non-palpable breast lesions. The aim of this pilot study was to compare traditional wire guided localisation (WGL) and Savi Scout® radar localisation (SSL) of breast lesions in women undergoing breast conserving surgery.

Methods: Data were collected from our institutional database and electronic patient record. Positive margins, re-operation rates and complications were evaluated and compared in both groups (WGL & SSL). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics.

Results: During the four-month period from January 2023 to April 2023, a total of forty-five women underwent breast conserving surgery for non-palpable breast tumours. Of these, n=28 had WGL and n=17 had SSL. And, 14.3% of the WGL group had positive margins after initial surgery compared to 23.5% of the SSL group. Re-operation rates were 10.7% in the WGL group versus 23.5% in the SSL group. Rate of infection associated with the procedure was low in both groups, occurring in n=1 (3.6%) of the WGL and n=0 (0%) of the SSL groups. Savi Scout localisation was associated with high levels of surgeon satisfaction in our centre.

Conclusions: Larger patient numbers are required to determine that Savi Scout® localisation is a reasonable replacement to wire localisation for breast lesions at our institute
