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. Template:Discussion code that separately? If so, link, if not, why is it written here? Ttenbergen 08:59, 2015 July 9 (CDT)
Code these as this diagnosis.
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.
Template:Discussion I assume we don't code that as open. Do we code it at all? If so link. If not we should add a notice to List_of_Diagnoses_we_don't_code#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.
- don't code these as Open Lung Biopsy, see Bronchoscopy/Laryngoscopy for details
