How do they do a biopsy on ovary cysts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: If a surgeon wanted to do this then they would take biopsy scissors and remove a small piece of tissue to send to a pathologist to analyze it. This would be done in the operating room under general anesthesia using laparoscopically.
