Biopsy - open pleura pleural-needle-biopsy
Definition
An open pleural biopsy is a procedure to remove and examine the tissue that lines the inside of the chest. This tissue is called the pleura.
Alternative Names
Biopsy - open pleura
Why the Biopsy - open pleura is Performed
This procedure is used when the surgeon needs a larger piece of tissue than that which can be removed with a pleural needle biopsy.
It is also performed when there are no body fluids in the pleura or when a direct view of the pleura and the lungs is necessary.
This procedure may also be done to examine a metastatic pleural tumor.
How the Biopsy - open pleura is Performed
An open pleural biopsy is done in the hospital using general anesthesia, which means you are asleep and do not feel pain during the surgery. A tube will be placed down your throat to help you breathe.
The surgeon will make a cut in the left or right side of the chest. A piece of tissue is taken from the chest area, and sent to a laboratory for examination. After surgery, the wound is closed with stitches.
How to Prepare for the Biopsy - open pleura
You will be asked not to eat or drink for 8 hours before the test.
How the Biopsy - open pleura Will Feel
You will be asleep during the procedure. There will be some tenderness and pain where the surgical cut is located. You may have a sore throat after the test due to the breathing tube.
Risks
There is a slight chance of excessive loss of blood, an air leak, or injury to the lung.
Normal Results
The pleura will be normal.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal findings may suggest:
- Tuberculosis
- Neoplasms (abnormal growth of tissue)
- Disease due to a virus, fungus, or parasite
