Biopsy and Drainages Treatment in Bhubaneswar

Interventional Radiology procedures have become quite popular these days as they help in the effective diagnosis and treatment of various conditions. Biopsies and Drainages treatments in Bhubaneswar are minimally invasive procedures in which imaging guidance such as CT, MRI, or ultrasound is used for an accurate diagnosis. In a Biopsy, a small suspected tissue sample is removed, which is then investigated in a laboratory to diagnose various medical conditions, such as cancer, inflammatory diseases, or infections. Whereas, in the Drainage procedure, the catheter is inserted to remove the excess fluid, pus, or other fluid collection. Both procedures are carried out using minimally invasive techniques and under imaging guidance, often performed together in one session. As these are less invasive Interventional Radiology procedures, they offer various benefits over other surgical methods, like shorter recovery times, less pain, and a reduced risk of complications. These are conducted under local anaesthesia, so you won't feel pain or discomfort.

We prioritise patient comfort and provide accurate diagnosis, improving patient outcomes.

 

FAQ's

There are different types of Biopsies, including:

  • Needle Biopsy: In this, a needle is used to access the tissue cells.

  • Image-guided Biopsy: In this imaging technique, technologies like CT scans, ultrasounds, or MRI scans are used to direct the needle to the right area for an accurate diagnosis.

  • Bone Biopsy: This is used for the diagnosis of cancer of the bones.

  • Aspiration Biopsy: This is called fine-needle aspiration, which withdraws liquid material out of a mass.

  • Surgical Biopsy: For hard-to-reach tissues, open or laparoscopic surgery is done to remove either a piece of the tissue or the whole lump.

  • Endoscopic Biopsy: This is done using an endoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached. It can be done using radiology or surgically. 

Also, based on the location where the biopsy is done, they are of different types, like skin biopsy, liver biopsy, bone marrow biopsy, kidney biopsy, and prostate biopsy.

  • The sample withdrawn will be sent to the laboratory for detailed investigation under a microscope.

  • The Biopsy can take around 20-30 minutes, depending on the type of procedure used. 

  • If the Drainage procedure is carried out along with the Biopsy, then after the Biopsy is completed, a catheter will be inserted into the area where the fluid needs to be drained.

  • Under imaging guidance, the catheter is directed to an accurate location, and the accumulated fluid is allowed to drain from the body.

  • After the procedure is completed, slight pressure will be applied, and a bandage or dressing will be placed.

  • Biopsy and Drainage procedures are done on an outpatient basis.
