[Should one systematically do a liver puncture biopsy during a laparotomy when the patient takes oral contraceptives?]. / Faut-il faire systématiquement une ponction biopsie du foie, au cours d'une laparotomie, lorsque l'opérée prend des contraceptifs oraux?

ABSTRACT

PIP The letter reports on 2 cases of hepatic lesions discovered by chance during laparotomy in patients on OCs. Such cases are multiplying all over the world. It would be advisable to systematically perform a biopsy of the liver during laparotomy when the patients have been on OCs, to avoid later, and possibly very serious, problems.^ieng
