“…With this in novative method, he obtained adequate tissue in ten of the thirteen patients [5] . However, this procedure has been for the first time described in the literature by Iversen and Brun [6] in 1951, which also used an aspiration needle and the sitting position but, in contrast to Nils Alwall, they used intravenous pyelography for localization of the right kidney; unfortunately they obtained adequate tissue only in 53% of patients [6] . Given the poor results of this technique, Kark et al [7] in 1954 made significant changes including the prone position of the patients with a sandbag placed under the abdomen to reduce the mobility of the kidney and the introduction of a new type of needle, the Franklin-modified Vim-Silverman needle, which trapped the tissue in the needle and then sheared it off, achieving adequate tissue in 96% of patients and no major complications.…”

“…In some cases, flank incisions could lead to morbidity. Renal biopsy was reinforced after the report by Iversen & Braun showing PNRB as a safe, easy and less morbid method (15 Although PNRB is the standard procedure to obtain renal tissue samples nowadays, it is not indicated in different situations such as noncollaborative patients, failure to obtain samples for pathology tests, solitary kidney, morbid obesity and hematological disorders (1-4). In these cases, some authors suggest laparoscopic approach as an alternative to ORB (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)16).…”

Objective: We present our experience in a series of 17 consecutive pediatric patients submitted to retroperitoneal laparoscopic renal biopsy. Materials and Methods: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic renal biopsy (LRB) was performed in 5 boys and 12 girls. Mean age was 8.1 years and age range from 2 to 12. Two or three trocars were used to expose the inferior pole of the kidney, remove enough cortical parenchymal specimen and fulgurate the biopsy site. Assessment included surgical time, estimated blood loss, hospitalization period, analgesia requirements, complications and number of glomeruli present in the specimen. Results: LRB was successfully performed in all 15 patients (88%). In two cases, LRB was not possible to be performed. One patient was converted to a transperitoneal laparoscopy due to tear in the peritoneum. The other patient had had previous abdominal surgery and, during retroperitoneal balloon dilation, the peritoneum was opened and the open biopsy was performed. A third patient had postoperatively a perirenal hematoma, which was solved spontaneously. Complication rate was 17.6% (3/17 cases). Mean operative time was 65 minutes, while mean estimated blood loss was 52 mL, mean hospital stay was 2.2 days and mean analgesic requirement was 100 mg of tramadol. The mean number of glomeruli present in the specimen was 60. Conclusion: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic renal biopsy in children is a simple, safe. Bleeding is still the most common complication. However, direct vision usually allows a safe control of this drawback. In our institution, laparoscopic approach is the chosen procedure in pediatric patients older than one -year -old.

“…In human medicine, attempts at percutaneous renal biopsy have been reported as early as 1944, although the first systematic study was not published until 1951 [17]. Reports published in both human and veterinary literature in the 1970s and 1980s demonstrate the impracticality of distinguishing between glomerular pathologies based exclusively on applied clinical and laboratory parameters [26].…”

ABSTRACT. The purpose of the present study was to develop a technique for biopsy of the kidneys of cattle and to evaluate its usefulness and safety based on 25 consecutive biopsies. Using a handheld 14G spinal biopsy needle, the right kidney was biopsied under ultrasound control by one operator. To assess the immediate effects of renal biopsy, twenty cattle were necropsied shortly after the procedure and examined. The remaining five animals were biopsied and examined daily for nine days and then necropsied. One pass was made for biopsy of the right kidney. No immediate or delayed macroscopic hematuria was observed post-biopsy. Six animals had a thin subcapsular hematoma (less than 2 cm in diameter). We conclude that percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsy of the right kidney is safe, fast, cost-effective and practical as long as it is performed properly.
