Abstract

|
|
|
Based on the results of previous studies, endoscopic biopsy sample’s quality has a major impact on itsadequacy for histopathology, and that the nature of the biopsy forceps can influence the specimen quality. The presentstudy compared the effects of three different types of endoscopic biopsy forceps and two different operators on samplequality and adequacy for histopathology in three healthy cats. Every biopsy was performed between the major papillaand caudal duodenal flexure, and each operator performed five biopsies with each type of forceps on each cat, fora total of 90 biopsies. One pathologist evaluated the quality and adequacy of the obtained samples. Biopsies performedwith large-cup forceps provided heavier and longer samples than the standard round forceps. With the same size forceps,the presence of alligator teeth had no effect on sample quality or adequacy for histopathological examination andassessment. Based on the results of the present study, although the standard round forceps could be used to obtainadequate samples for histopathology, large-cup forceps such as the standard oval and alligator jaw type have theadvantage of obtaining high quality endoscopic samples.
