Light and electron microscopic Interpretations were compatible with each other In 66 per cent of the cases. However, In approximately a third of the cases there was a disparity In diagnosis of one microscopic examination versus the other. Regardless, the greatest yield for establishment of diagnosis is obtained by using light and electron microscopy. No deaths were related to renal biopsy. Minor complications occurred in 9 per cent of the cases, none of which required reoperation. Comparison of open wedge with percutaneous renal biopsy reveals that the mortality rate is probably less with the wedge technique. The incidence of complications is approximately the same for both procedures. Percutaneous biopsies resulted in a 10 per cent failure rate to produce any renal tissue or the tissue obtained was inadequate for examination. Thus, diagnosis is not established and treatment is not instituted in 1 of 10 children who is still subject to the morbidity and complications of the needle procedure. However, open wedge biopsy always results in an adequate amount of renal tissue for these diagnostic studies. It can be used for children of all ages compared to percutaneous needle biopsy, which becomes increasingly more of a problem from various parameters with decreasing age of the child, even when performed successfully. © 1976 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByGaur D, Agarwal D, Khochikar M and Purohit K (2018) Laparoscopic Renal Biopsy via Retroperitoneal ApproachJournal of Urology, VOL. 151, NO. 4, (925-926), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1994.
