Liver biopsy in sheep: Modification to needle aspiration technique

Liver biopsy is a valuable tool in clinical diagnosis as it can give information about structure and composition of liver tissue. In this work a modification of the liver puncture biopsy is presented. Samples were obtained from adult sheep (n=20) at days 70, 100, 130 Y 140 of gestation and 60 days after parturition. A 74 mm needle of 3 mm diameter used for sheep ruminal puncture was inserted in the skin and over the abdominal wall. Tissue samples were taken with another needle of 160 mm length and 1,8 mm diameter passing through the first one. Size, weight, and number of acinus observed on each sample ranged between required standards for hepatologic diagnosis. The described technique proved to be a safe, precise, practical and a low costing method to be used under field conditions.

La biopsia hepática constituye una valiosa herramienta en la búsqueda del diagnóstico al aportar información sobre la estructura y la composición bromatológica del órgano. En este trabajo se presenta una modificación a la técnica de punción por aguja en ovejas. Las muestras fueron obtenidas de 20 ovejas adultas, a las que se les practicaron biopsias hepáticas los días 70, 100, 130 y 140 de gestación y 60 días posparto. Piel y planos musculares fueron abordados con una aguja de punción ruminal para ovinos de 74 mm de largo por 3 mm de diámetro. Para traer las muestras de tejido hepático se utilizó una cánula de 160 mm de largo por 1.8 mm de diámetro, insertada a través de la primera. El tamaño y peso de las muestras y el número de acinos observados por biopsia estuvieron dentro de los estándares óptimos para un buen diagnóstico en hepatología. La técnica descrita en este trabajo demostró ser económica, segura, eficaz, sencilla, rápida y apta para ser usada en condiciones de campo.
