A member asked:
Has anybody heard of thyroid biopsy conscious sedation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not used: A thyroid biopsy is a very simple procedure, performed with fine needles. It is very well tolerated if performed by a skilled professional. Only local anesthesia is required. General anesthesia is sometimes used for very young children.
