| Popis: | There has been a marked decrease in morbidity and mortality from hepatic-needle biopsy in recent years. Despite this, cases are being reported which suggest that almost the entire spectrum of traumatic liver injury may occur because of biopsy.

High-risk liver biopsies should be performed by experienced personnel using a small-diameter Menghini needle. |
