Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Percutaneous liver biopsy involves removing liver tissue by puncturing the skin overlying the liver with a needle. This is less invasive than open or resection liver biopsies, which involve making incisions through the skin and into the liver. A wedge biopsy involves cutting out a small section of the liver, which is also more invasive than percutaneous biopsy.
