Hydrodissection-assisted image-guided percutaneous biopsy of abdominal and pelvic lesions: Experience with seven patients - Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of retroperitoneal organ displacement for image-guided percutaneous biopsy.

CONCLUSION: Organ displacement using 0.9% saline or 5% dextrose in water (D5W) can create safe access routes for targeted abdominal and pelvic biopsies.
