“…Third, we did not assess other complications such as nerve damage, tissue trauma, tumor seeding, or vascular injury associated with both techniques, owing to a lack of data in the included studies. Finally, some studies reported that FNNAC combined with FNAC can obtain better quality cellular material [ 8 , 9 ], while other studies reported that a better diagnostic accuracy can be achieved by combining both techniques [ 13 , 23 , 26 ]. This suggests that a combination of both techniques may be more suitable for the investigation of patients with thyroid nodules.…”

Background. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and fine needle nonaspiration cytology (FNNAC) are useful cost-effective techniques for preoperatively assessing thyroid lesions. Both techniques have advantages and disadvantages, and there is controversy over which method is superior. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the differences between FNAC and FNNAC for diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Methods. Primary publications were independently collected by two reviewers from PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, EBSCO, OALib, and the Cochrane Library databases. The following search terms were used: fine needle, aspiration, capillary, nonaspiration, sampling without aspiration, thyroid, and cytology. The last search was performed on February 1, 2015. Results. Sixteen studies comprising 1,842 patients and 2,221 samples were included in this study. No statistically significant difference was observed between FNAC and FNNAC groups with respect to diagnostically inadequate smears, diagnostically superior smears, diagnostic performance (accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value), area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve, average score of each parameter (background blood or clot, amount of cellular material, degree of cellular degeneration, degree of cellular trauma, and retention of appropriate architecture), and total score of five parameters. Conclusion. FNAC and FNNAC are equally useful in assessing thyroid nodules.

“…Finally, some studies reported that FNNAC combined with FNAC can obtain better quality cellular material, 15,16 while other studies reported that a better diagnostic accuracy can be achieved by combining both techniques. 17,18,19 In a similar study conducted by Srikanth et al, 1 Lymphadenopathy with highly cellular lesions like reactive hyperplasia and metastatic malignancy, both the techniques yielded comparable cellular material. In non-specific lymphadenitis, the non-aspiration technique was significantly better than aspiration technique with regard to background blood, amount of cellular material and retention of appropriate architecture.…”

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare diagnostic accuracy of Cytopuncture with Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) in cervical lymphadenopathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective study conducted on 100 patients between January 2017 and December 2017 in a tertiary care center. Patients with cervical lymphadenopathy were subjected to both FNAC & Cytopuncture after clinical examination. The two techniques were compared for the five objective parameters, using Mair's point scoring system. RESULTS A total of 100 cases of various diagnostic findings were subjected to statistical analysis. Common clinical diagnosis observed in the study was chronic cervical lymphadenitis-58%, acute cervical lymphadenitis-24%, secondaries in neck-12%, TB lymphadenitis-6%. On comparing FNAC and cytopuncture, both the techniques yielded comparable results in granulomatous lymphadenitis, metastatic deposits, nonspecific lymphadenitis, and in malignancy, but cytopuncture was diagnostically inferior in acute inflammatory lesion and in reactive lymphadenitis. CONCLUSION FNAC and cytopuncture shows comparable results for granulomatous lymphadenitis, metastatic deposits, nonspecific lymphadenitis and in malignancy for all 5 parameters, but cytopuncture was diagnostically inferior in acute inflammatory lesion and in reactive lymphadenitis.

“…Unsatisfactory specimens, especially mixed with blood, poses an obstacle to proper cytological interpretation. To overcome this problem, an alternative method of fine needle non-aspiration cytology (FNNAC) technique was developed which relies on the capillary pressure only to suck the cells inside the needle bore [6]. FNNAC is also known as cytopuncture was developed in France in 1982 by Brifford et al, originally was developed for vascular organs to avoid haemorrhage and to obtain less haemorrhagic cytology samples from breast lesions [6].…”

Background Comparison between the Fine Needle Non-Aspiration Cytology (FNNAC) and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) in acquiring ultrasound-guided fine needle cytology (FNC) samples from solid thyroid nodules to determine the better technique, hence improving the sample quality aiming to decrease the number of unnecessary thyroidectomy operations. Results Prospective study showed statistically significant increase in cellular yield, preservation of cellular architecture and decrease in cellular trauma along with statistically significant increase in total sample quality with FNNAC (P value = 0.32, 0.004, 0.011, 0.21 respectively), and statistically insignificant difference in background blood in the sample (P value = 0.8). Regarding sample convenience, FNNAC was found to be more convenient for both the patient (syringe is not seen by the patient reducing discomfort) and for the operator (better handling of the needle and fewer maneuvres). Conclusions FNC is an approved sensitive and cost-effective method to evaluate thyroid nodules, FNNAC technique was found to be more convenient for both the patient and the operator with statistically significant improvement in total sample quality compared to FNAC.
