| | Next, a special biopsy needle is inserted into the same area, and, with the patient holding his or her breath, the biopsy needle is inserted quickly into the liver and withdrawn. | | | (The insertion and withdrawal of the biopsy needle takes only a second or two.) Suction through the needle, applied via an attached syringe, causes a small piece of liver (the biopsy) to be pulled into the needle and cut off from the rest of the liver. | | | The needle is introduced further with additional injections of anesthetic all the way through the chest wall and into the liver. |

| | BioMed Central Full text The diagnostic value of liver biopsy |
| | Liver biopsies were performed on an outpatient basis either by the Menghini technique after ultrasound examination of the liver or by direct ultra-sound guided biopsy. | | | Since most of our liver biopsies in transplanted patients are performed on an inpatient basis these 12 biopsies were not further analyzed leaving 365 biopsies as the basis for this report. | | | This report deals with only day-care procedures which has been the standard in our institution for the past 20 years; this has been shown to markedly enhance patient acceptance [11]. |
