Bowel Lesions: Percutaneous US-guided 18-gauge Needle Biopsy-Preliminary Experience¹

¹ From the Departments of Radiology (G.R.T., P.M.R.) and Histopathology (K.P.W.), Leicester Royal Infirmary NHS Trust, Infirmary Square, Leicester LE1 5WW, England, UK. Received March 10, 1998; revision requested May 7; final revision received November 30; accepted March 2, 1999. Address reprint requests to P.M.R.

Ultrasonography-guided percutaneous biopsy was performed with local anesthesia and an 18-gauge needle in 10 patients with bowel-wall lesions. All patients underwent clinical review within 1 month. Biopsy was diagnostic in all patients. There were no complications, and all patients tolerated the procedure well. The technique appears to be safe and had an excellent diagnostic yield in our series.
