Objective   To compare the effect of ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted rotary resection and open resection in the treatment of breast masses with calcification.

  Methods   The clinical data of patients with calcified breast masses was analyzed. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into rotary resection group (45 cases) and open resection group (43 cases). The rotary resection group was treated with ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted rotary resection, and the open resection group was treated with open resection. The resection rate of calcification, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, incision healing time, scar length, postoperative complications, postoperative pain score and satisfaction score were compared between the two groups.

  Results   The resection rate of calcification in the rotary resection group was 95.56%, and 100.00% in the open resection group. The operation time, incision healing time and scar length in the rotary resection group were shorter than those in the open resection group, and the amount of intraoperative bleeding was less than that in the open resection group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in postoperative local hematoma, incision infection, shape changes and residual lesions between the two groups (P>0.05). The postoperative pain score of the rotary resection group was lower than that of the open resection group, and the satisfaction score was higher than that of the open resection group (P < 0.05).

  Conclusion   Ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted rotary resection is effective in the treatment of breast masses with calcification, and has the advantages of short operation time, less bleeding, short healing time, small incision scar, mild pain and high patients′satisfaction.
