title: [Intrahepatic and subcapsular hematoma of the liver after hepatic biopsy under laparoscopy. Contribution of ultrasonography].
abstract: Over the last few years, ultrasound became important in characterization of space -occupying solid lesions of the liver. Recently, Canadian authors using this method, described a 23% incidence of intrahepatic or subcapsular hematoma after liver biopsy. We prospectively evaluated the incidence of this complication after liver biopsy under laparoscopic guidance in 8 cirrhotic patients, 7 with steatosis, 7 chronic active hepatitis and 4 with intrahepatic cholestasis. Biopsy was performed under general anesthesia provided that prothrombin activity was over 50%, serum fibrinogen was over 100% and platelets over 50.000/mm3. In none of 26 consecutive patients, was an intrahepatic or subcapsular hematoma observed.
