What bodily fluid is taken for testing during an amniocentesis?
A small amount of the fluid surrounding the fetus (amniotic fluid) is drawn out through a needle inserted into the mother's womb.
What are aminocentesis?
Amniocentesis (also referred to as amniotic fluid test or AFT), is a medical procedure used in prenatal diagnosis of genetic risk factors, in which a small amount of amniotic fluid, which contains fetal tissues, is extracted from the amnion or amniotic sac surrounding a developing fetus, and the fetal DNA is examined for genetic abnormalities.Before the actual procedure, a local anesthetic is sometimes given to relieve the pain when inserting the syringe to withdraw the fluid. A syringe is usually inserted through the mother's abdominal wall or at the end of the vagina, and through the wall of the uterus into the amniotic sac. With assistance from ultrasound a physician aims an area of the sac that is away from the fetus and extracts a small amount of amniotic fluid for testing. The puncture heals, and the amniotic sac automatically replenishes the liquid over a day or so. After the amniotic fluid is extracted, the fetal cells are separated from it using a centrifuge, and cell chromosomes are examined for abnormalities. Various genetic testing may be performed, but the three most common abnormalities tested for are Down's syndrome, Trisomy 18 and spina bifida. Amniocentesis can be performed as soon as sufficient amniotic fluid surrounds the fetus to allow a sample to be recovered relatively safely, usually no earlier than the 14th week of pregnancy. Often, genetic counseling is offered in conjunction with amniocentesis.
What procedure is involved in a minimum-access laparoscopic esophageal resection?

Why are tubes inserted during a pancreatectomy procedure?

Can DNA analysis be done on a live fetus?
Yes. There is a process known as amniocentesis whereby a needle is inserted through the placenta to collect foetal material from the amniotic fluid. It isn't a recommended procedure though as it poses a risk to the foetus.
What is the procedure which a needle is surgically inserted into the pericardium to remove fluid?
Pericardiocentesis
What does surgery for abdominal wall defects aim to do?
aims to return the abdominal organs back to the abdominal cavity, and to repair the defect if possible. It can also be performed to create a pouch to protect the intestines until they are inserted back into the abdomen
What is suppository?
A suppository is a type of medicine that is inserted into the rectum, to clean out the bowels. Suppositories can be used prior to abdominal surgery or to relieve constipation.
What is inserted simultaneously with the catheter during a catheter ablation procedure?
At the same time as the catheter is inserted, a second electrode is placed on the patient's skin.
How is a paracentesis procedure done?
During paracentesis, special needles puncture the abdominal wall, being careful not to hit internal organs. If fluid is needed only for analysis, just a bit is removed. If pressure relief is an additional goal, many quarts may be removed.
Where are Intrauterine contraceptive devices placed?
Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) are inserted into the uterus
What is a suprapubic catheter?
A Suprapubic Catheter is a urine drainage catheter which is inserted into the bladder so that urine can be drained out, usually when the normal way out for the urine is blocked. Instead of being passed up through the urethra as is usual, the supra pubic catheter is inserted through the abdominal wall just above the pubic bone and into the bladder. This is a minor surgical procedure and involves giving a local anaesthetic injected around the area before the insertion. More often, this procedure is carried out as part of a larger surgical procedure, ie. Prostatectomy, and will be inserted in the operating theatre when you are asleep. The medical term for "above" is "supra" hence Suprapubic, "above the pubic", in this case it is refering to where it is positioned. This can be a long term solution. Hope this helps.
