Simple Soft Tissue Biopsy Techniques for the General Practitioner or Specialist by Dr. Bob Convissar

Performing soft tissue biopsies is one of the simplest surgical procedures to perform, yet general practitioners only perform 17% of all soft tissue biopsies. This course will answer the all-important questions of:
1) What To Biopsy
2) Where To Biopsy
3) When To Biopsy
4) When To Refer
5) How To Biopsy
Once those questions are answered, a simple 5-step protocol will be described that includes patient evaluation; lesion evaluation, setting up the instrument tray, describing the technique in detail with both slides and video, and discussing the postoperative instructions. This course will give the attendee a simple 5 step cookbook for performing the biopsy – from patient evaluation through postoperative instructions.
