Summary

Liver biopsy is still used as the gold standard in the diagnosis of many liver diseases. During the observation after liver biopsy, patients are hospitalized on their right side, which is the biopsy side, with the thought that adverse events (complications) such as bleeding or bile leakage will be less. Patients who do not develop complications after 4-6 hours of observation are discharged home. Some of the patients state that the right side-lying position for 4-6 hours is uncomfortable than the biopsy itself, and they prefer to lie on their back. In our study, researchers aim to investigate the rate of complications after biopsy, what recovery position found more acceptable by the patients.
