Transvaginal Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy of Deep Pelvic Masses: How We Do It
J Ultrasound Med.
2016 Jun.
Abstract
The purpose of this review is to discuss the rationale and indications for transvaginal ultrasound-guided biopsy. Transvaginal ultrasound-guided biopsy can be a helpful tool for diagnosis and treatment planning in the evaluation of pelvic masses, particularly when the anatomy precludes a transabdominal or posterior transgluteal percutaneous biopsy approach. A step-by-step summary of the technique with preprocedure and postprocedure considerations is included.
Keywords: fine-needle aspiration; gynecologic ultrasound; transvaginal biopsy; transvaginal ultrasound.
