Excisional biopsy
About
Excisional biopsy in orthopedics is a medical procedure used to take a tissue sample or lesion from bone, joints, or surrounding soft tissue for diagnostic purposes or assessment before further treatment. This procedure typically involves completely removing the entire area suspected to be affected to allow for detailed tissue analysis.
Candidate
Candidates for excisional biopsy in orthopedics are usually patients suspected of having bone or joint tumors, bone infections, or other pathological changes requiring further diagnosis or treatment.
Preparation
Preparation for this procedure may include a review of medical history, laboratory tests, and possibly discontinuation of certain medications.
Treatment
The treatment is usually performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the size and location of the area being sampled. The surgeon then carefully removes the entire area for examination, and the tissue is sent for histopathological analysis to determine the nature of the change.
Result
The results of excisional biopsy in orthopedics depend on the diagnosis made based on tissue analysis. If the presence of a tumor or infection is confirmed, the results may serve as the basis for further treatment planning.
Precautions
Precautionary measures after excisional biopsy typically involve monitoring the patient to ensure there are no complications such as bleeding, infection, or damage to surrounding structures. It is also important to follow the doctor's instructions for wound care and avoid activities that may interfere with the healing process.
ZagrebMed patient reviews
I recently suffered a serious shoulder injury. I decided for surgery in Zagreb at the Akromion clinic, based on the recommendation that it is the best in this part of Europe. First of all, I would like to thank Professor Čiček for his great effort and the entire staff from the reception staff, physiotherapists, nurses and technicians. They made it easier for me to get through the whole period while I was in the hospital.
Thanks to ZagrebMed's help, I found excellent cooperation for the proposed choice and all other information. Courtesy and collaboration with 5 stars. Thanks again
