Assessing the Histological Quality of Biopsy Samples Obtained With Multibite Forceps

Summary

Biopsies are routinely taken during endoscopy and colonoscopy in order to facilitate histological analysis of various disease processes. The current practice of obtaining biopsies involves taking a maximum of two biopsies at a single time (ie. with a single pass). When investigating certain diseases, such as celiac disease, there is a need to obtain several biopsies (sometimes greater than 6) and the current practice of taking one to two biopsies at a time can lengthen endoscopy time. This study investigates a new approved multiple bite forceps that has the ability to retrieve six biopsies during a single pass which could reduce endoscopy time and improve diagnostic yield. This study will assess the histological quality of multiple biopsies when taken with the multiple bite forceps compared to the standard double bite forceps. This multiple bite forcep is approved for clinical use in Canada.
