Background: Needle size may affect the specimen quality of EUS-FNA of SPL. Little data
exists on the performance characteristics of 22-gauge and 25-gauge needles in EUS-FNA of …

Introduction: A prior study with 22‐gauge needles recommended more than seven needle
passes for endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration biopsy (EUS‐FNA) of solid …

Background: This meta-analysis aimed to provide a pooled analysis of prospective
controlled trials comparing the diagnostic accuracy of 22-G and 25-G needles on …

BACKGROUND: The difference in the diagnostic accuracy of 22-versus 25-gauge needles
in EUS-FNA is not clear. AIMS: To compare the rates of technical success, diagnostic …

Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) using standard
needles has a high diagnostic value in the evaluation of solid pancreatic masses …

Methods: All cases that were referred for EUS-FNA for pancreatic masses between February
2001 and June 2007 were reviewed, and patients who underwent EUS-FNA using the 22 …

Aims: The present study intends to compare the results obtained by these two needles when
performing EUS-FNA of pancreatic solid lesions. Patients and Methods: This was a …

Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is accurate in
cytological diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. Our aim was to determine optimal number of …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of on-site cytopathological
evaluation on the diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle …

Purpose We aimed to compare the histological and/or cytological diagnostic outcomes of
EUS-FNA using 19G and 22G needles for solid pancreatic lesions and to evaluate the …
