Abstract:
:Disposable plastic biopsy forceps were compared prospectively to reusable stainless steel forceps. Thirty consecutive patients underwent a total of 249 biopsies, 124 with the disposable forceps, and 125 with reusable forceps. Biopsy locations included the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, and common bile duct. Specimens were compared microscopically to determine overall surface area, depth, adequacy, and diagnostic result. The disposable biopsy forceps yielded specimens which were 37% smaller when compared with the reusable forceps. In five of the comparisons, minor differences in histological findings were noted between the two groups of biopsy specimens, but these differences did not alter the pathological diagnosis. However, in three cases in which superficial specimens were obtained, an underlying carcinoma was missed with the disposable forceps. Our study documents the utility of disposable biopsy forceps for mucosal lesions. In addition, there were 11 mechanical failures in 38 biopsy attempts with the plastic biopsy forceps. These forceps appear to be limited in their capacity to obtain adequate specimens from firm tissue or when submucosal biopsy samples are required, and they will require refinements in design to duplicate specimen quality obtained by traditional reusable forceps. Disposable forceps are particularly suitable for biopsy of mucosal lesions in patients with possible communicable disease, and they should help to reduce cross-contamination in the gastroenterology laboratory.
