It can be performed using various techniques. Regardless of the technique, the liver biopsy is considered to be a safe procedure.<\/br><\/br> <b>Aim:<\/b> We aimed to analyze the indications, techniques, results, and complications of liver biopsies in the paediatric age group.<\/br><\/br> <b>Materials and methods:<\/b> We retrospectively obtained the data from the medical history records of 63 paediatric patients who underwent liver biopsy. The data were analyzed statistically.<\/br><\/br> <b>Results:<\/b> The most often performed type of biopsy was core needle biopsy (tru-cut), followed by core needle aspiration biopsy, fine-needle aspiration biopsy, open biopsy, and laparoscopic biopsy. Complications in the form of hematoma occurred only in 2 cases. The most common indications for the procedure were viral hepatitis monitoring\/diagnosis, focal lesions, and autoimmune hepatitis. The histopathological results were predominantly hepatitis (viral and non-viral) and neoplasm.<\/br><\/br> <b>Conclusions:<\/b> Liver biopsy is a safe procedure regardless of the technique used to obtain a tissue sample. Therefore, it should not be avoided when it is indicated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0016.0960","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]],"date-time":"2023-02-03T11:41:13Z","timestamp":1675424473000},"page":"29-33","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Liver biopsies in children \u2013 indications, techniques, results and complications.
