This study demonstrates the performance characteristics and efficiency of the sentinel node and occult lesion localization technique in localizing non‐palpable breast cancer and successful identification and removal of sentinel nodes. The results are compared to the literature for wire‐guided localization techniques, the most common form of lesion localization.
