Biopsies

At Dixit Clinic and Gastro Centre, we offer comprehensive biopsy services to assist in the accurate diagnosis and management of various medical conditions. A biopsy is a diagnostic procedure where a small sample of tissue is removed and examined under a microscope to determine the presence of disease. Our state-of-the-art facilities and expert medical team ensure that you receive precise and reliable biopsy results with the highest level of care.

What is a Biopsy?

A biopsy involves taking a small sample of tissue from a specific part of the body for laboratory analysis. This procedure helps diagnose conditions such as cancer, infections, and inflammatory diseases, and is essential for determining the most appropriate treatment plan. The type of biopsy performed depends on the location and nature of the suspected condition.

Our Biopsy Services

1. Endoscopic Biopsy:
   Endoscopic biopsies are conducted during an endoscopy procedure, where a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) is inserted into the body to visualize internal structures. During the endoscopy, our gastroenterologists can obtain tissue samples from areas such as the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. This method is useful for diagnosing gastrointestinal conditions, including tumors and inflammatory diseases.

2. Percutaneous Biopsy:
   Percutaneous biopsies involve taking tissue samples through the skin using a needle. Guided by imaging techniques such as ultrasound or CT scans, our specialists can precisely target and extract tissue from specific areas, such as the liver or kidneys. This type of biopsy is commonly used to evaluate suspicious masses or lesions.

3. Surgical Biopsy:
   For cases where other biopsy methods are not feasible, a surgical biopsy may be performed. This involves a minor surgical procedure to remove a larger sample of tissue or an entire lesion. Our skilled surgeons perform these procedures with precision to ensure accurate diagnosis while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues.

4. Skin Biopsy:
   Skin biopsies are used to assess abnormal skin growths or lesions. We use various techniques, including punch biopsies, shave biopsies, and excisional biopsies, depending on the type and location of the skin abnormality. This procedure helps diagnose conditions such as skin cancer and other dermatological issues.

The Biopsy Process

1. Preparation:
   Preparation for a biopsy varies depending on the type and location of the procedure. Our team will provide you with specific instructions, including dietary restrictions or medication adjustments if needed.

2. Procedure:
   Biopsy procedures are typically performed with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The process involves removing a small tissue sample, which is then sent to our laboratory for analysis. Our medical team will ensure you are informed and at ease throughout the procedure.

3. Post-Procedure Care:
   After the biopsy, you may experience minor discomfort or bruising at the site. We will provide detailed post-procedure care instructions to help you manage any symptoms and ensure proper healing. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to discuss the results and plan further treatment if necessary.
