OBJECTIVES: Ultrasound-guided wire localisation may improve intra-operative identification and outcomes of non-palpable cervical lymphadenopathy in a previously treated neck. We undertook a literature search and present our case series to determine the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided wire localisation.
METHODS: A search of databases up to 29 April 2024 was performed. At our tertiary centre, ultrasound-guided wire localisation was utilised for 20 patients with cervical lymphadenopathy between February 2021 and April 2024.
RESULTS: Seventeen studies with a combined total of 92 patients were identified, with one complication reported. Within our case series, all 20 patients had accurate lesion localisation using ultrasound-guided wire localisation and none required repeat operations.
CONCLUSION: Ultrasound-guided wire localisation is a safe and cost-effective technique for lesions in an otherwise difficult area to operate, providing confidence to the multidisciplinary team, particularly where histopathology indicates benignity. Surgical outcomes do not appear worse than outcomes without ultrasound-guided wire localisation. We advocate its use provided appropriate patient selection is considered.
