So by now we would have covered.

All of the pre procedural Perry could
0:06
procedural and post-procedural considerations as it
0:09
relates to targeting biopsies within
0:12
the interabdominal spaces.
0:15
So what would we would have gathered today? We were together.
0:18
It's important to understand what the differential diagnosis is,
0:21
whether we're dealing with Foci or
0:24
lesions in the retro-paraginal compartments or within
0:27
the intrapersonal compartments. It's important
0:30
to know common pathologies as
0:33
well as uncommon pathologies. We talked
0:36
about necrotizing granulomas in parasitic
0:39
Lima yomas, which are on the order of the uncommon
0:42
pathologies that you may encounter. It's also
0:45
important to know that when targeting these biopsies we
0:48
need to have in mind a safety
0:51
profile for the procedure and that safety
0:54
profile is augmented and optimized through
0:57
identifying safe trajectory. That
1:00
is
1:02
Really Guided by the modality that
1:05
we choose we discussed the advantages and the
1:08
disadvantages of using CT versus ultrasound guidance
1:11
for both.
1:13
Biopsies of the Retro peritoneum as well
1:16
as biopsies within the intraperitoneum.
1:19
We also discuss potential complications the use
1:22
of oral contrast as a guiding tool
1:25
in order to ensure that we visualize bowel
1:28
when there are lesions and masses
1:31
adjacent about
1:34
The most important note for today perhaps if I
1:37
had to choose was that complications do happen.
1:41
And one of the things that we can do in order
1:44
to support our patients and advancing Safe Care
1:47
is to know what can go wrong.
1:50
And when it goes wrong how to manage it that's important
1:53
to share with our patients doing informed consent and
1:56
most importantly for us to keep in mind when we
1:59
perform procedures so that if something untoward happens, we
2:02
know how to manage it whether it happens immediately in
2:05
the period procedural period or perhaps days later
2:08
at the end of the day, hopefully what we've
2:11
shared for you with you today. We'll be
2:14
helpful as you advance your safe practice in the care
2:17
of your patience. Good day. Good night. Thank you.
