[The place of the biopsy and morphological study of hepatic tissue in children and adults in the clinician's practice].
The authors analyze their own (more than 2500 manipulations in children and adults) and foreign experience in hepatic biopsy, and describe the most wide-spread techniques of puncture biopsy, paying special attention to complications of the manipulation and ways of their prevention. Indications and contra-indications to biopsy in children and adults are defined; the role of morphological studies in diagnostics of chronic hepatic diseases is discussed.
