Medical Conditions - Incisional Biopsy

Incisional biopsy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose different diseases. In this procedure, a small amount of tissue sample from the tumor is removed using a needle, and the extracted sample is then sent for pathological examination. It is indicated in deep lesions, which are difficult to excise. It is safe compared to excisional biopsy since much less tissue is removed.
