The diagnostic performance of novel torque technique for endoscopic ultrasound‐guided tissue acquisition in solid pancreatic lesions: A prospective randomized controlled trial

Background and Aim Although several techniques for improved outcomes in endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)‐guided tissue acquisition have been reported, the reported diagnostic yield for pancreatic masses is not satisfactory. The effects of novel technique (torque method) on twisting the scope in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction during EUS‐fine needle biopsy (EUS‐FNB) are unknown. We compared the diagnostic yield of EUS‐FNB for pancreatic...
