Abstract:
A new automated biopsy technique is described for performing percutaneous renal biopsies in pediatric patients. The biopsy device (Bard Biopty Instrument) employs a relatively small needle (18 gauge). We believe this procedure offers a safer and more effective means of obtaining adequate renal tissue for pathological assessment in pediatric patients.
