About the clinic

A biopsy at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, is a diagnostic procedure used to collect tissue or cell samples for laboratory analysis. The hospital is the only JCI-accredited facility in the Baltic States, which confirms that its diagnostic protocols meet international safety and quality standards. Patients can access specialized biopsy services for the thyroid, prostate, and bladder with results analyzed in a certified on-site laboratory.

Biopsy Options and Laboratory Services

The clinic provides different types of biopsies depending on the suspected condition. Each method uses specific guidance to collect accurate samples:

  • Thyroid fine-needle aspiration. Performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure precise needle placement.
  • Cytological examination. This laboratory analysis is included in the price for thyroid biopsies.
  • Prostate biopsy. A diagnostic procedure for urological assessment.
  • Diagnostic cystoscopy with biopsy. Includes a histological examination of the collected bladder tissue.
  • Trepanobiopsy specimen evaluation. A specialized review of bone marrow or solid tissue samples.
  • Certified laboratory analysis. The clinic examines one, two, or three specimens on-site for faster processing.

Specialist and Clinical Standards

Dr. Romena Laukienė performs thyroid biopsies at the clinic. She is an endocrinologist with a PhD in biomedical sciences and holds a specific qualification in ultrasound diagnostics. This dual expertise allows her to perform the ultrasound scan and the biopsy during the same visit.

Meliva Kardiolita Hospital maintains high diagnostic standards through its JCI accreditation. This ensures that every step, from tissue collection to histological reporting, follows strict safety rules. Patients can find these services at the hospital’s main facility in Vilnius or at the branch in Kaunas. Most biopsies are outpatient procedures, allowing patients to leave the clinic shortly after the sample is taken.

Ingrid • Total hip replacement (arthroplasty) revision

The doctor was warm, patient, and explained everything very well

The contact coordinator was excellent. The doctor was warm, patient, and explained everything very well, though the English support in the hospital itself could be improved. I came in for a hip problem, but it turned out well; no surgery was needed, just specific exercises. The final price matched the quote with no unexpected additional expenses. I suppose there is no further contact from the clinic now that I am home. It was a good experience.
Contact coordinator was TOP. Clinic was good and doctor was warm and patient and explained all verywell. Really recommendable
English support in hospital must improve. Nothing could be better

The surgeon was amazing, would definitely recommend; my three stitches were very small and neat, and I hardly had any post surgery pain, it was very minimal

My main concern was choosing a clinic, as it's hard to compare them from afar. The process was very good. My Bookimed coordinator had quick replies and stayed in touch, which was reassuring. The surgeon was amazing, would definitely recommend; my three stitches were very small and neat, and I hardly had any post surgery pain, it was very minimal. I'm still feeling the fatigue from healing and am at about 50% capacity. The only real issue was that my post-surgery documents were not translated into English. Despite this, I am satisfied with the medical care I received.
