La biopsie des plaies à visée diagnostique

Wound biopsy, particulary in chronic wounds, are frequently performed by a dermatologist or a surgeon during the diagnosis phase of the wound or during the occurrence of complications (infection, periulcerous lesion, delayed healing, cancerization). Non dermatologist doctors can practice this gesture as long as they master the technique. The nurses must be able to explain the procedure to the patient in order to reassure him if necessary. When needed, surgeons perform bone biopsy in the operating room.
