Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Nasal biopsy forceps cause more crush artifacts than nasal scissors, impacting biopsy accuracy. Choosing nasal scissors may improve pre-operative pathological results for better treatment planning.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Pre-operative biopsy is crucial for tailoring optimal patient treatment.
  • Nasal biopsies provide essential preliminary pathological information.
  • Evaluating different biopsy techniques is vital for diagnostic accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the pathological outcomes of nasal biopsies obtained using forceps versus scissors.
  • To assess the impact of crush artifact severity on diagnostic accuracy.
  • To determine the optimal sampling technique for nasal biopsies.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving 144 nasal biopsies from 46 patients undergoing nasal surgery.
  • Biopsies were collected using both nasal forceps and nasal scissors.
  • Pathological examination included grading crush artifact severity (none, mild, moderate, severe) by a blinded senior pathologist.

Main Results:

  • Samples obtained with nasal forceps exhibited significantly higher grades of crush artifacts compared to those from nasal scissors.
  • A higher degree of crush artifact in tissue samples negatively influenced the accuracy of pre-operative biopsy results.
  • Nasal scissors yielded superior sample quality with less artifact.

Conclusions:

  • Nasal forceps generate significantly more crush artifacts than nasal scissors.
  • The degree of crush artifact directly impacts the accuracy and reliability of pre-operative nasal biopsy diagnoses.
  • Nasal scissors are recommended for obtaining nasal biopsies to minimize artifact and enhance diagnostic precision.
