• Surgical Biopsy: An invasive procedure in which a surgeon systematically removes an approximate amount of tissue. It can be done through open surgery or laparoscopically.
• Endoscopic Biopsy: Biopsies are taken from inside the body through a flexible tube called an endoscope. These are most frequently used for imaging studies of the gastrointestinal tract.

Endoscopic Biopsy

An endoscopic biopsy can also be done while you are sedated. An endoscope is introduced through a natural orifice (for example the mouth and rectum) to the target region. Tissue samples are collected using small tools at the end of the scope.

The wound is then covered with a bandage, and you can usually return to your usual activities shortly afterwards.
