[Aimed liver biopsy in the course of laparoscopy (author's transl)]

Following a discussion of the various methods that have been devised for liver biopsy, and an explanation of the advantages accruing from aimed liver biopsy in the course of laparoscopy, the authors express their preference for this method on account of its unquestionable diagnostic value, ease of execution, and freedom from complications. Accordingly, and in good agreements with other experts such as Kalk, Beck, and Dagnini, they advocate more widespread use of the procedure in liver pathology.
