How Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration/Biopsy (FNA/FNB) is performed
This procedure is often performed with linear endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle systems, with optional fine needle aspiration (FNA) or fine needle biopsy (FNB). Typically, the lesion is located via ultrasound through the gastrointestinal wall under sedation, and after puncture, negative pressure is used for aspiration or reciprocating to obtain columnar tissue, with on-site cytological evaluation if necessary. Post-operative observation for bleeding, infection, or signs of pancreatic irritation is conducted, with the goal of obtaining sufficient samples to support diagnosis. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
