Aspiration biopsy

Aspiration biopsy is a method of taking tissue samples for examination using special instruments or a syringe. This method is used to diagnose various diseases, such as cancer, tuberculosis, HIV infection and others.

The aspiration biopsy procedure is carried out as follows:

1. The patient is asked to lie on his back and bend his knees. The doctor inserts a needle through the skin into the desired area and slowly drains the contents of hollow organs or cavities.
2. The needle is connected to a syringe that contains a special fluid for collecting samples.
3. After the samples are collected, the needle is removed and the puncture site is treated with an antiseptic.
4. Tissue samples are sent to the laboratory for further examination.

Aspiration biopsy has several advantages over other biopsy methods, such as surgical or needle biopsy. It is less invasive, less painful and provides more accurate results. However, this method also has some disadvantages, for example, it can be more expensive and require special equipment.

Overall, aspiration biopsy is an important tool in the diagnosis of many diseases and helps doctors make more informed decisions about patient treatment.

Aspiration biopsy is one of the most common methods for studying biomaterial. When carrying out this analysis, it is not necessary to obtain tissues or organs for a thorough microscopic examination using all modern techniques. Also, due to the absence of violation of tissue integrity, it is possible to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and other pathological changes.

Indications for biopsy Aspiration biopsy is performed quite often. The most common reasons for prescribing this diagnostic procedure include: * Diagnosis of tumors of a benign or malignant nature; * Determining the presence of inflammatory foci in organs or tissues (for example, aspiration during inflammation can be carried out to detect inflammation of meningitis); * Study of arteries; * Confirmation of endocrine diagnoses (for example, aspiration analysis can confirm the diagnosis of diabetes); * In order to monitor the effectiveness of already completed courses of treatment (chemotherapeutic, radiation, surgical treatment).
