We are not tracking if a biopsy was taken during a bronchscopy.  If anyone wants to know down to that level of detail, then we advise them they will have to audit bronch cases to drill down further on their own.[[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 18:08, 2014 April 23 (CDT)   


*** 5/8/2007 Dr Gray stated ignore the method of entry thoracotomy /thoracoscopy  and call them all open lung biopsy plus or minus pleurodesis so do we still code pleurodesis under open lung biopsy?
=== Needle Lung Biopsy ===
****no.  Pleurodesis is a specific procedure to artificially obliterate the pleural space. A biopsy is the act of taking a sample of tissue for testing. --[[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 17:15, 2015 July 7 (CDT)

A lung biopsy is a procedure that involves obtaining a tissue specimen from the lungs for microscopic analysis to establish a precise diagnosis.

Open Lung Biopsy

An open lung biopsy is performed via a surgical incision in the chest. When they open the lung area, they use a scope to examine the lung which is a thoroscopy.

Needle Lung Biopsy

A needle lung biopsy, or percutaneous lung biopsy, is performed by passing a biopsy needle through the skin into the lung. May or may not require fluroscopic or CT guidance. This is not a diagnosis we code (List of Diagnoses we didn't code in old schema#Surgeries_or_procedures_not_currently_coded.

Bronchoscopic Lung Biopsy

A bronchoscopic lung biopsy is performed using a bronchoscope, and may or may not require fluoroscopic or CT guidance.
