I. Purpose:
To take the sample of bone marrow tissue from the patient for cytology and histopathology examination to help further diagnosis and treatment.

    A small amount of the marrow specimen(0.5~5cc) will be drawn through the needle into the syringe. All of the tissue will then be taken for smear, cell markers, pathology or chromosomestudy.
  4. The wound will then be covered with the gauze and the tapes to stop the bleeding after the procedure.
V.After the procedure:
