Punctures of MGN are generally painless and mildly uncomfortable, and can be tolerated by normal human beings.
Puncture is a pathologic biopsy procedure that is invasive and involves the use of a specific medical device to access the pleura from the surface of the skin into the pleural cavity under the guidance of CT or ultrasound, and then puncture into the lungs to take samples of the MGNs for biopsy. Before the percutaneous puncture, local anesthesia will be used, and there will be some discomfort during the process of anesthesia, the pain is comparable to the pain of vaccination, which can be tolerated by the human body. After anesthesia, the procedure is virtually painless.
