Objective To understand the application of vacuum assisted rotary cutting technique in benign and malignant breast diseases.Method The related literatures about the application of vacuum assisted rotary cutting technique in the breast benign and malignant diseases were reviewed.Results The technique of vacuum assisted rotary cutting had been applied to the treatment of intraductal and phyllodes tumors. The non-lactation mastitis lesions could all be removed by this technique, and as a minimally invasive treatment for gynecomastia. It could guided by the color Doppler ultrasound, mammography and MRI, which could obtain enough tissue specimens for the screening and biopsy of early breast cancer. The indication of vacuum assisted rotary cutting technique should be further discussed in the breast conserving treatment of breast cancer.Conclusions Vacuum assisted rotary cutting technique has been widely used in treatment of various benign diseases of the breast and diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. The best indication for operation should be determined based on clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination results.
