A cold forceps biopsy is a medical procedure used to obtain a tissue sample from the gastrointestinal tract, typically during an endoscopy. In this technique, a specialized tool called forceps is used to grasp and remove a small piece of tissue without applying heat, which helps preserve the cellular structure for accurate histological analysis. Cold forceps biopsies are often performed to diagnose conditions such as cancer, inflammation, or infection. This method is generally considered safe and effective, with minimal complications.
