Summary

This study tested a method that uses real-time imaging to guide a minimally invasive surgical tool for taking lymph node samples from the abdomen. The goal was to see if this approach could make the biopsy more accurate and reduce risks compared to standard surgery. The study included 11 adults with suspected or confirmed lymphoma or other abdominal diseases who needed a biopsy.
