Laparoscopy hepatic biopsy through cauterization

Abstract: Hepatic biopsy was realized through laparoscopy with simultaneous cauterization in the present study, whose principal aim was to evaluate the efficacy of the applied method and to study its effects in the liver of healthy dogs. Furthermore, we tried to verify the main hematological and chemistry profile alterations related to the hepatic function, and to investigate the viability of the fragments collected by histopathology. To attain this objective, 21 clinically healthy dogs, weighing between 10 and 15kg wer… Show more

“…Furthermore, the results obtained are consistent with those of percutaneous liver biopsies performed with the same type of needle (Harvey et al, 1984;Ferreira et al, 1996;Néspoli et al, 2010). Confirming previous reports, the amount of blood observed from the liver biopsies was considered clinically irrelevant (Fantinatti et al, 2003;Duarte et al, 2009). Hence, no alterations were observed to the physical condition of the goats following their physical examination (Table 1), and the condition of the animals was considered normal for goats.…”

“…Limited abdominal exploration (keyhole) for laparoscope guided organ examinations and excision biopsy is indicated to ascertain a correct diagnosis, specific therapy and accurate prognosis (Richter, 2001). Direct visualization of the organ helps the clinician t o imply a n assiduous control over the technique and permits precise and accurate site localization of the various internal organs (Fantinatti et al, 2003;Lew et al, 2003). As laparoscopy requires minor surgical intervention, it provides the only available practical means of making repeated direct examination of abdominal viscera and its organs (Maiti et al, 2007).…”

“…Direct visualisation of the organ helps the clinician to imply an assiduous control and accurate site localisation of the various organs. The minimal invasiveness of the procedure, rapid patient recovery and diagnostic accuracy make laparoscopy an ideal technique over many other invasive procedures (Dutta et al 2010;Fantinatti et al 2003;Maiti et al 2008aMaiti et al , 2008bMaiti et al , 2009Twedt 2009). The most common indication for laparoscopy is to examine and biopsy the abdominal organs or masses.…”
