The value of transbronchial lung biopsy using jumbo forceps via rigid bronchoscope in diffuse lung disease [PDF]

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2016
Background. Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) is a valuable procedure used to obtain a parenchymal specimen in the evaluation of diffuse lung infiltrates. Large forceps are expected to result in larger specimens and improve diagnostic yield. Aim.

Duodenal Biopsies for Coeliac Disease: Does Size Matter?

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: Most adult patients require endoscopy and duodenal biopsies to diagnose coeliac disease. However, individuals who are unwilling or unable to undergo conventional endoscopy are left without diagnostic options or a formal diagnosis ...

Predictive factors suggesting an underestimation of gastric lesions initially diagnosed as adenomas by forceps biopsy

The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2016
Background/Aims: The endoscopic forceps biopsy of gastric lesion may provide inadequate specimens for a correct diagnosis of the entire lesion. Therefore, a histologic discrepancy may exist between specimens obtained by forceps biopsy and by endoscopic ...

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided mediastinal biopsies for the diagnosis of mediastinal diseases: A network meta-analysis

Pulmonology
Background Clinical guidelines recommend endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) as the initial diagnostic tool for lung cancer staging.

Use of pleural cryobiopsy for tissue culture specimens: a case report

Respirology Case Reports, 2020
A 43‐year‐old man presented with cough. His chest X‐ray showed a left‐sided pleural effusion. We suspected tuberculous pleurisy (TP), and thoracoscopy under local anaesthesia was performed. It showed entire pleura with scattered nodules.

Tissue sampling for biliary strictures using novel elbow biopsy forceps

Scientific Reports, 2021
We aim to evaluate the safety and feasibility of novel elbow biopsy forceps with a prebent head for sampling biliary strictures in our institution. A total of 24 patients (15 males and 9 females) with biliary stricture who underwent biliary biopsy during

A cooling off period: decline in the use of hot biopsy forceps technique in colonoscopy in the U.S. Medicare population 2000–2019

BMC Gastroenterology
Background The use of hot biopsy forceps (with electrocautery) is no longer routinely recommended given increased complications compared to cold biopsy forceps (without electrocautery).

Comparative yield of transbronchial cryo-nodal biopsy, transbronchial intra-nodal forceps biopsy, and transbronchial needle aspiration for mediastinal lesions at a tertiary care center in India (COLD-FORCEPS study)

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided mediastinal cryobiopsy, and intranodal forceps biopsy are newer modalities for sampling mediastinal lymph nodes. The data regarding the diagnostic yield of both modalities is scarce.

Comparison of cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy for the diagnosis of mediastinal lesions: A randomised clinical trial

Pulmonology
Introduction Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the standard approach for lung cancer staging. However, its diagnostic utility for other mediastinal diseases might be hampered by the limited tissue retrieved ...
