[Percutaneous liver biopsy in ambulatory patients].
Percutaneous liver biopsy is a relatively safe procedure. Performance in an outpatient facility is acceptable for many patients. Complications are rare and usually will be recognized within a few hours after biopsy. In most cases, therefore, an observation of six hours is sufficient. Since complications occasionally occur delayed, there must be the possibility to return for hospitalization.
