Effect of needle size on outcomes of vacuum-assisted excision of breast lesions. A randomized controlled trial
Using a 10G compared to a 7G needle size resulted in no difference in procedure time or excision completeness. Among the analyzed parameters, only a larger lesion size was consistently associated with a longer procedure time and a higher risk of incomplete excision.
