At Prima ENT Hospitals, we offer comprehensive lymph node biopsy services to diagnose and assess various conditions related to the lymphatic system. Our team of highly skilled ENT specialists uses state-of-the-art techniques to ensure accurate and minimally invasive procedures.
A lymph node biopsy involves removing a small sample of tissue from a lymph node. This procedure helps doctors diagnose various diseases, including infections, immune disorders, and cancers like lymphoma.
Q: How should I prepare for a lymph node biopsy? A: Preparation may vary based on the type of biopsy. Generally, we advise patients to avoid certain medications and to fast for a few hours before the procedure. Your doctor will provide specific instructions based on your medical history.
Q: Is the procedure painful? A: Local anesthesia is used to minimize pain during the procedure. You might experience slight discomfort or pressure, but severe pain is uncommon.
Q: What are the risks associated with a lymph node biopsy? A: While generally safe, there are potential risks like infection, bleeding, or nerve injury. Our team takes comprehensive measures to mitigate these risks.
Q: How long does it take to get results? A: Results typically take a few days to a week. Our clinic ensures timely communication of results and necessary follow-up consultations.
Q: Will I need additional treatment after the biopsy? A: The need for further treatment depends on your biopsy results. Our multidisciplinary team will guide you through the next steps if additional treatment is necessary.
