Abstract
- We appreciate the interest shown in our article "Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration for splenomegaly and focal splenic lesion: is it safe, effective and necessary?", as well as the academic discussion raised by gastroenterology-ultrasound experts in the letter to the editor. In the discussion of our article, we mention that EUS-FNA is necessary and/or the first option in splenomegaly and/or small focal splenic lesions where percutaneous biopsy are limited, when difficulty accessing the focal splenic lesions, in obese patients and in those with ascites, recent abdominal surgery or a poor acoustic window.
