    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Percutaneous renal biopsy is crucial for diagnosing kidney diseases.
    • Current ultrasound guidance for renal biopsy often involves blind needle insertion for the actual biopsy.
    • This can lead to multiple passes, increased procedure time, and potential complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a modified percutaneous renal biopsy technique using direct ultrasound visualization for guide needle placement.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of this modified technique in improving accuracy and reducing procedural burden.

    Main Methods:

    • A 22-gauge guide needle is precisely directed into the kidney under direct ultrasound visualization.
    • This guide needle acts as a tandem guide for the subsequent biopsy needle insertion.
    • The technique aims to replace blind needle passes with a visualized approach.

    Main Results:

    • The modified technique significantly reduces the number of unsuccessful needle passes.
    • It minimizes the time required for the percutaneous renal biopsy procedure.
    • Patient discomfort and potential procedural morbidity are also reduced.

    Conclusions:

    • Direct ultrasound visualization for guide needle placement in percutaneous renal biopsy is an effective modification.
    • This technique enhances procedural efficiency and patient safety.
    • It offers a valuable improvement over traditional blind biopsy needle techniques.
