Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Endoscopic ultrasound guided Fine needle biopsy- No suction technique  The biopsy needle will be flushed with 5 ml normal saline, if previous biopsy was already taken. The lesion is localised with Endoscopic ultrasound. The 22G needle is introduced into the biopsy channel no suction needle is attached to the needle. After ruling out significant doppler signal in the needle path, needle puncture will be made into the lesion and multiple passes will be made. The biopsy obtained is released into the formalin containing sample container and sent for histopathological analysis 
Intervention  Endoscopic ultrasound guided Fine needle biopsy- Slow stylet pull technique  The biopsy needle will be flushed with 5 ml normal saline, if previous biopsy was already taken. The lesion is localised with Endoscopic ultrasound. The 22G needle is introduced into the biopsy channel with full insertion of stylet. After ruling out significant doppler signal in the needle path, needle puncture will be made into the lesion and multiple passes will be taken as the stylet is removed slowly from the needle and the biopsy obtained, is released into the formalin containing sample container. 
Intervention  Endoscopic ultrasound guided Fine needle biopsy- Wet suction technique  The biopsy needle will be flushed with 5 ml normal saline, if previous biopsy was already taken. The lesion is localised with Endoscopic ultrasound. The 22 G needle is introduced into the biopsy channel and stylet is removed. A syringe containing 9 ml saline and 1 ml heparin with pre applied negative suction force, is attached to the end of the needle to provide continous negative presure suction. After ruling out significant doppler signal in the needle path, needle will puncture the lesion and multiple passes will be taken and biopsy is obtained into the formalin containing sample container.

Brief Summary  
EUS FNB is now being considered the optimal technique for sampling of pancreaticobiliary lesions due to its high accuracy and less adverse complication rates. Currently, to the best of our knowledge, there is no data in India regarding the optimal sampling technique. This is a prospective, randomized controlled trail, with three arms, comparing the diagnostic efficacy of EUS FNB techniques – standard no suction vs stylet slow pull vs wet suction for pancreaticobilary lesion. We aim to include all patients more than 18 years presenting to us with indication of for EUS FNB for pancreaticobilary lesions and giving informed consent, excluding age morethan18, bleeding diathesis and pregnant women. We shall compare the three techniques by taking a biopsy consecutively with each sampling technique, and send each separately labelled sample to the pathologist, who is blinded to the technique of sampling and will report each sample individually and the results will be analysed according to the accuracy provided by the sampling technique and the final diagnosis, along with the tissue integrity and blood contamination. Further treatment will be as per treating physician. Expected outcome will be to compare the non inferiority of wet suction and slow stylet pull technique with the standard no suction technique.
