Biliary interventions treat blockages, narrowing and/or injury of the passages between the liver, gallbladder and small intestine called bile ducts. Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder where it can be released into the small intestine to aid in digestion. If the bile ducts become blocked, it may lead to inflammation or infection also known as cholecystitis. Biliary interventions may remove gallstones, drain excess bile or place a stent within a bile duct to treat your condition and restore the flow of fluids.

A prostate gland biopsy is a test to remove small samples of prostatetissue to be examined under a microscope. For a prostate biopsy, a thin needle is inserted through the rectum(transrectal biopsy), through the urethra, or through the area between the anus and scrotum (perineum). A transrectal biopsy is the most common method used. The tissue samples taken during the biopsy are examined for cancer cells. A biopsy may be done when a blood test shows a high level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or after a digital rectal examination finds an abnormal prostate or a lump.

Celiac plexus neurolysis is a safe and effective tool for palliative pain management, with a relatively low rate of complications. Celiac plexus neurolysis should be offered to patients with abdominal malignancy as a key component of the multidisciplinary approach for control of intractable abdominal pain. Appropriate use of cross-sectional imaging knowledge, CT technique, and various adjunctive maneuvers are invaluable to ensure good results
