Their pathomorphological diagnosis is relevant for the appointment of adequate treatment. There is a technique of percutaneous core-biopsy of such formations under the control of multispiral computed tomography, most often carried out by the &amp;quot;free hand&amp;quot; method.

The author has developed a robotic device that automatically inserts a biopsy needle into the &amp;quot;place of interest&amp;quot;. It was used for diagnostic punctures in the retroperitoneal space in 24 patients. In the control retrospective group, punctures were performed using the &amp;quot;free hand&amp;quot; method in 20 patients. The authors reveal an enhancement of the accuracy of puncture in the main group, a reduction in the amount of complications and of the duration of manipulation.
