Percutaneous Aspiration

Percutaneous aspiration is a minimally invasive procedure in diagnosing and treating liver cysts. It involves inserting a needle through the skin and into the liver cyst to remove a sample of fluid. This fluid is then analyzed to determine if the cyst is benign or malignant. If the cyst is benign, no further treatment is necessary. However, doctors will likely recommend additional treatment options, such as surgery, if the cyst is malignant.

This treatment intervention is typically performed using local anesthesia. Once a patient is numb, the doctor will make a small incision in the skin and insert a needle into the liver cyst. They will then use a syringe to remove a fluid sample from the cyst. The entire procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes to complete.

Percutaneous aspiration is generally safe, and complications are rare. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks involved, such as bleeding, infection, and damage to nearby organs. Doctors will discuss the risks and benefits of percutaneous aspiration with a patient before the procedure so that they can make an informed decision about whether it’s right for their condition.
