Operative pancreatic biopsy: a survey of current practice
Abstract
The attitudes of surgeons working in Great Britain and Ireland towards pancreatic biopsy and the use of other preoperative investigations in cases of pancreatic disease are examined on the basis of replies to a postal questionnaire. The value, accuracy, and complications of pancreatic biopsy are discussed with reference to the surgical literature.
