“…Second, the studies varied with respect to technique and needle size used for the biopsy, resulting in uncertainty whether the results would apply to the most current technical methods used in native renal biopsy. Finally, several studies of factors affecting bleeding complications after native renal biopsy provided no data about prebiopsy BP levels (including 10 of 32 studies reviewed in the metaanalysis by Corapi et al [3]), seemingly taking the approach that BP has no effect on these complication rates (4,(16)(17)(18). Even when studies in which BP is analyzed as a risk factor are considered, some disparity is still evident regarding the effect of BP on bleeding complications.…”

“…Under visual control, the full length of the biopsy needle side notch was inserted into the renal cortex between the renal capsule and the corticomedullary junction [5,6]. The puncture angle was between 20 and 30° [7]. All biopsies were performed by the same individual.…”

Background: Kidney biopsy is a vital tool in the diagnosis of kidney disease. Although it has become a routine procedure, it is not complication-free. Some serious complications of percutaneous kidney biopsy include retroperitoneal hemorrhage and death. There is an increased belief that smaller biopsy needle size results in a lower complication rate. As renal pathologists, we witness an increased number of kidney biopsies performed with a small needle size (as low as gauge 22), which results in inadequate tissue sampling and often non-diagnostic biopsy results. Herein we report the diagnostic value of kidney biopsies according to the size of the biopsy needles. Methods: We performed kidney biopsies from nephrectomy specimens using biopsy needles of different sizes. Morphologic parameters were analyzed. Results: We found that biopsies performed by small needles (gauges 20 and 22) contain significantly lower numbers of glomeruli and blood vessels, which limits pathologic evaluation. Data from our institution do not show differences in kidney biopsy complication rates between 16- and 18-gauge needles. Conclusions: Our data indicate that small biopsy needles do not provide sufficient material for diagnosis, and they increase the likelihood for a repeat biopsy.

“…CT, MRI (Boroffka and Voorhout, 1999;Armour et al, 2011;Lederer et al, 2015) and ultrasound (US) have been demonstrated to be accurate in evaluating orbital disease (Mason et al, 2001;Boroffka et al, 2007). In addition, US has been demonstrated to be particularly useful in guiding interventional procedures throughout the body both in veterinary and in human patients (Phillips and Schneider, 1981;Gupta et al, 1999;Constantin et al, 2010;Orlandi et al, 2013;Spiess and Pot, 2013). However, imaging alone is not sufficient for a definitive diagnosis (Boroffka and Voorhout, 1999;Boroffka et al, 2007).…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of imaging-guided core needle biopsy for canine orbital mass diagnosis. A second excisional biopsy obtained during surgery or necropsy was used as the reference standard. A prospective feasibility study was conducted in 23 canine orbital masses at a single centre. A complete ophthalmic examination was always followed by orbital ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) examination of the head. All masses were sampled with the patient still on the CT table using ultrasound (US) guided automatic tru-cut device. The most suitable sampling approach to the orbit was chosen each time based on the CT image analysis. One of the following different approaches was used: trans-orbital, trans-conjunctival or trans-masseteric. In all cases, the imaging-guided biopsy provided a sufficient amount of tissue for the histopathological diagnosis, which concurred with the biopsies obtained using the excisional technique. CT examination was essential for morphological diagnosis and provided detailed topographic information that allowed us to choose the safest orbital approach for the biopsy. US guided automatic tru-cut biopsy based on CT images, performed with patient still on the CT table, resulted in a minimally invasive, relatively easy, and accurate diagnostic procedure in dogs with orbital masses.
