EUS-FNA of Lesions of the Pancreas, Biliary Tract, and Liver

  • Chapter
Practical Handbook of Endoscopic Ultrasonography

Abstract

Preoperative tissue diagnosis of mass lesions in the biliary pancreatic region has always been a challenging task. EUS guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) provides an impressive solution to this preoperative dilemma. EUS permits real-time imaging from close quarters which allows precise control and accurate needle placement and permits accurate biopsy to be performed.
