Is ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy effective in the initial diagnosis of lymphoma patients?
Our data indicate that abdominal US-guided core-needle biopsy should be considered as an effective and safe procedure in the diagnosis of patients with lymphoma offering the possibility of determining the tumor subtype and the subsequent specific treatment.
The addition of adjunctive DPR to the damage control strategy shortens the interval to definitive fascial closure without affecting overall resuscitation volumes. As a result, this mitigates intra-abdominal complications associated with open abdomen and damage control surgery and affords better patient outcomes.
