Preoperative spinal localization using the hook wire technique.
Surgeons are increasingly required to resect disk herniations. Methods for preoperative or perioperative localization of such lesions require precision. This is difficult to achieve using the usual methods. We propose the use of a preoperative invasive technique: needle and marker wire. Its precision has been proved for preoperative localization of nonpalpable breast lesions.
