Surgeon Performed Vacuum Assisted Breast Biopsy/Excision Is a Viable Paradigm for the Management of Benign and B3 Lesions—An Australian Multicenter Experience
VAB/VAE are minimally invasive techniques well suited for management of variety of benign and B3 breast lesions. US guided VAB/VAE interventions are reliable, safe, and quick to perform in both day procedure or outpatient settings and can be readily learned by breast surgeons, especially those who already possess experience in breast interventional US. We have demonstrated its utility and viable deployment in contemporary Australian breast surgical practice and would advocate for its adoption in the Australasian surgical management algorithm, especially for small B3 lesions.
