Summary
This guideline details endoscopic ultrasound-guided sampling, a minimally invasive technique for gastrointestinal lesion diagnosis and therapy. It provides evidence-based recommendations for safe and effective EUS-guided tissue acquisition.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology and Endoscopy
- Medical Imaging
- Interventional Ultrasound
Background:
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) integrates advanced imaging with tissue acquisition.
- EUS enables visualization and biopsy of lesions within and near the gastrointestinal tract.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide guidelines on diagnostic and therapeutic interventional endoscopic ultrasound.
- To assess the evidence for endoscopic ultrasound-guided sampling.
- To offer clinical practice recommendations for EUS-guided sampling.
Main Methods:
- Review of current evidence on EUS-guided sampling.
- Comparison of EUS-guided biopsy with image-guided percutaneous biopsy.
- Analysis of indications, contraindications, techniques, and adverse events.
Main Results:
- EUS-guided sampling is a safe and effective method for tissue acquisition.
- Guidelines address crucial preconditions, performance steps, and training for EUS-guided sampling.
- Evidence supports the clinical utility of EUS-guided sampling.
Conclusions:
- EUS-guided sampling offers significant advantages for diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal lesions.
- Recommendations are provided for optimizing the safety and reliability of EUS-guided procedures.
- The guideline emphasizes the importance of cytopathological reporting in EUS-guided sampling.

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
