[Incidence of intrahepatic and subcapsular hematomas after percutaneous needle biopsy]

Abstract

Intrahepatic and subcapsular hematomas are described as complications of percutaneous liver biopsy. Even though, its incidence is not clearly established. Through this study we try to set which is the real incidence of this complication in our medium. To comply with this, we control our patients by ultrasonography before, after, and even seven days after procedure has been carried out.
