Pancreatic Biopsy

A pancreatic biopsy is a diagnostic procedure used to obtain tissue samples from the pancreas for further examination under a microscope. It is typically performed to investigate suspected pancreatic diseases such as pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis, or autoimmune pancreatitis. The biopsy allows for a definitive diagnosis by analyzing the cellular composition of the pancreatic tissue, identifying any abnormal changes or lesions that may be present.

There are several methods for obtaining pancreatic tissue samples:

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA)

This is the most common technique for pancreatic biopsy. It involves using an endoscope with an attached ultrasound probe to visualize the pancreas from within the stomach or duodenum. A thin needle is then passed through the endoscope and into the pancreas under ultrasound guidance to extract small tissue samples.

Percutaneous Biopsy

In cases where EUS-FNA is not feasible or inconclusive, a percutaneous biopsy may be performed. This involves inserting a needle through the skin and into the pancreas under imaging guidance (such as CT scan or ultrasound) to obtain tissue samples.

Surgical Biopsy

In some situations, especially if a larger tissue sample is needed or if there are concerns about the accuracy of less invasive methods, a surgical biopsy (such as laparoscopic or open biopsy) may be performed. This involves making an incision to directly access and remove a portion of pancreatic

Had consulted Dr Parekh a couple of years back for severe GERD. My experience was that he took the time to listen and understand my symptoms which prior doctors had not done. For patients who are already suffering, finding the right doctor is a boon but finding one who leads with proficiency and empathy is rare - definitely recommend.
