The Trucut and Surecut liver biopsy needles have been compared in a prospective randomised study. Although the Surecut specimens were longer and heavier they tended to fragment during processing. Trucut specimens were subject to less artefact and were rated more highly by the histopathologist. However, the majority of biopsies obtained by both needles were satisfactory for diagnostic purposes.
在一项前瞻性随机研究中对Trucut和Surecut肝活检针进行了比较。尽管Surecut活检标本更长、更重,但在处理过程中它们往往会破碎。Trucut活检标本的人为假象较少,组织病理学家对其评价更高。然而,两种活检针获取的大多数活检标本对于诊断目的而言都是令人满意的。
