Mar 22, 2022

The lung is an important body organ for us. If there is a lump in the lung, we need to do a lung puncture. Is it painful to do a lung puncture biopsy? We will introduce it today.

Needle biopsy is a very commonly used method to obtain pathological tissue in clinic. It is to pierce a biopsy needle into the lesion tissue and then cut it to obtain the tissue sample of the lesion. During needle biopsy, only local anesthesia is given to the skin puncture point. , Patients generally do not feel uncomfortable, so lung biopsy is not very painful.

Needle biopsy has the advantages of less trauma, reliable material collection and simple operation, so it has become a main method of pathological biopsy. Usually, needle biopsy should be carried out under the guidance of CT and ultrasound. There are certain requirements for the location of the lesions when performing needle biopsy of lung lesions. Only those lesions located in the peripheral part of the lung field without large blood vessels passing through can be subjected to needle biopsy. There are some complications of needle biopsy, such as pneumothorax, hemorrhage, and pain. After symptomatic treatment, there will be no serious consequences. Life-threatening complications have indeed occurred, but the probability is extremely low.
