Can you have a liver biopsy at the same time as having gall bladder removed?!


Question: Can you have a liver biopsy at the same time as having gall bladder removed!?
Answers:
I don't see why not since the gallbladder is attached to your liver!. I sometimes have to assist in gallbladder surgeries, which can be done laparoscopically or open, and the liver is fully visualized during both!. I've never heard of both being done since a liver biopsy is generally performed as an out-patient procedure in endoscopy or ultrasound!. I did some research on the Internet and couldn't find any information either!. I guess it would depend on your doctor!. Is a biopsy needed!? If so I wouldn't really see the problem of killing two birds with one stone!. Right!? Speak with your surgeon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
