Abstract
Thoracoscopic biopsies were taken from four dogs with lung tumours using a Roeder's loop. A Roeder's loop is used to collect pulmonary tissue samples for histopathological analyses. In all the animals tissue biopsy using a Roeder's loop enabled to collect a relatively large specimen of the lung tumor tissue.
