Hemoperitoneum after percutaneous liver biopsy

چکیده
Percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB) is an in or out-patient procedure diffused in most hospitals. A particularely elevate number of biopsies in our area depends on endemic infection by hepatitis B and C viruses. Nowadays it is a very safe procedure, and the actual risk of bleeding is estimated to range between 0.04 and 0.16% in nonmalignant disease 1. Major bleeding generally requires a prompt surgical solution, and it has been traditionally managed by a wide laparotomy. After the initial experiences as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in penetrating abdominal stab wounds, minimally-invasive procedures are gaining consense, even if we found only one other case report in Literature concerning bleeding after PLB managed by means of laparoscopy 2.
