introdominal biopsies results success
0:03
and complications
0:06
A question for you, the majority of histologic diagnoses
0:09
from interabdominal Mass biopsies reveal a
0:12
what disease entity?
0:15
Is it a neoplastic?
0:16
or non-neoplastic disease entity
0:20
If you said neoplastic you would be correct.
0:23
So upwards of about 75% of biopsies
0:26
actually perform for intraminal Mass characterization actually
0:29
yield in neoplastic diagnosis. The
0:32
most common primary tumor is colorectal and
0:35
origin whereas the most common metastasis is
0:38
ADD. No carcinoma.
0:40
So what are some technical success rates I can
0:43
fastest complete data is limited for all possible combinations
0:46
of intra and retro peritoneal sites
0:49
as well as the lesion types. However, the data suggests
0:52
excellent overall capacity. So when we think about the elemental
0:55
mesenteric masses we're thinking on the order of close
0:58
to 100% 99.5% technical success
1:01
with a sensitivity of 93 to
1:04
95% with specificities of 86 to
1:07
100%
1:08
pretty impressive when it comes to peritoneal and retro peritoneal
1:11
lymphatinopathy were considering ultrasound guidance 86% technical
1:14
success and for CT
1:17
guidance 82 to 98 percent accuracy.
1:20
For every procedure that we do it's critically important
1:23
to understand what could go wrong, hence. We
1:26
discuss the potential complications which occur on
1:29
the order of less than one percent. There's bowel
1:32
perforation with abscess formation with or without there
1:35
are evidences of large mesenteric hematomas
1:38
that could result requiring transfusion.
1:41
There's disseminated infection that could also occur and these
1:44
are the major complications.
1:46
The minor complications are sort of less than 3% usually
1:49
between 1.6 and 2.7 depending on
1:52
the sources. They can be pain.
1:54
persistent in nature or local bleeding at
1:57
the puncture site, which
1:59
is often self-limiting
