Description
How does laparoscopic liver biopsy compare with open surgical biopsy?
This 60-second video explains six key comparisons: surgical access, wound discomfort, direct visualisation, tissue sampling, bleeding monitoring and recovery.
Both approaches obtain a small liver tissue sample for examination by a pathologist. Laparoscopy provides surgical access through small incisions, while open biopsy is often performed during another abdominal operation.
Many liver biopsies use an image-guided needle or a transjugular approach instead. The appropriate method depends on the reason for biopsy, bleeding risk, anatomy and other planned procedures.
Follow your clinical team’s aftercare instructions. Severe or worsening abdominal or shoulder pain after biopsy requires prompt medical assessment.
