We describe a method to establish human enteroids from small intestinal crypts and colonoids from colon crypts collected from both surgical tissue and biopsies. In this methodological article, we present the culture modalities that are essential for the successful growth and maintenance of human enteroids and colonoids.

We standardized an abdominal adipose tissue biopsy using a non-diathermy method performed under local anesthesia. Three cases of excessive post-operation bleeding out of 115 operations (2.61%) occurred.We conclude that an abdominal adipose tissue surgical biopsy using a non-diathermy method can be safely applied to healthy men.
FAQs
The hinged jaws translate movement at the handle or endoscopic control into opening and closing at the instrument tip. This lets the operator grasp a selected area and excise a small specimen while limiting contact with nearby tissue. Controlled jaw movement therefore supports both sampling precision and preservation of surrounding structures during minimally invasive examination.
Jaw shape influences how the instrument contacts and holds tissue, while flexibility affects how the forceps can reach and align with internal surfaces. These design features can change the precision of excision and the quality of the recovered specimen. Selecting an appropriate configuration is therefore important when the target location or tissue arrangement makes access difficult.
Compatibility with the instrument channel determines whether the forceps can be introduced and controlled through the endoscopic system. A suitable fit allows the jaws to reach the intended internal surface and function as designed. In practice, channel compatibility connects instrument selection with procedural precision, access to the target, and the likelihood of obtaining a useful tissue sample.
The forceps are controlled through an endoscopic instrument system until the jaws reach the selected internal surface. The jaws then open, engage the target tissue, and close to grasp and excise a small sample. After removal, the specimen can be examined microscopically or prepared for histological, cytological, or molecular analysis.
Different designs become relevant when the target location, available instrument channel, or required sampling precision changes. Jaw configuration can influence tissue capture, whereas flexibility affects access and alignment within the endoscopic pathway. Considering these features helps match the instrument to the sampling setting and may improve specimen quality while limiting surrounding tissue disturbance.
A recovered specimen can support histology, which examines tissue structure, and cytology, which evaluates individual cells. It may also be used for molecular analysis and disease assessment. In biology and biomedical research, these outputs connect a small tissue sample with microscopic organization, cellular findings, molecular information, and evidence of pathological change.
