Abstract

Introduction

Ultrasound-guided synovial biopsy is a procedure for diagnostic and research purposes that is not yet available in most rheumatology departments.

Methods

We describe the experience with synovial biopsy procedures in our department.

Results

Thirty-eight synovial biopsies were performed on 33 patients during observation. The patients' mean age (standard deviation) was 59 (17) years, ranging between 26 and 90 years. The most frequently biopsied territories were the carpus and the knee. No complications occurred during the procedures. Sixteen residents were trained in the procedure. Two joint sessions have been held with the Immunology and Anatomical Pathology services, and our service sessions have been organised based on the scope and usefulness of the procedures.

Conclusions

Our service's experience has been positive regarding patient care and resident training. The procedure has had no serious complications and has been, in general, very well tolerated.

超声引导滑膜活检在风湿病科实施后的体会。

超声引导下的滑膜活检是一种用于诊断和研究目的的程序，但在大多数风湿病科尚未可用。方法：我们描述了在我科进行滑膜活检的经验。结果：观察期间对33例患者进行了38次滑膜活检。患者平均年龄（标准差）为59（17）岁，年龄范围为26 ~ 90岁。最常活检的部位是腕骨和膝关节。手术过程中无并发症发生。16名住院医生接受了该程序的培训。我们与免疫学和解剖病理学部门举行了两次联合会议，我们的服务会议是根据手术的范围和有用性组织的。结论：我们的服务在病人护理和住院医师培训方面的经验是积极的。该手术没有严重的并发症，一般来说，耐受性很好。
