Given the location, it sounds more like they did the more invasive sural nerve biopsy to me.

Thanks for the replies.
According to the refferal and the test's results I am sure that I had a skin biopsy and not a nerve biopsy.
From what you wrote here and what I have previously read in this forum , it seems that my skin biopsy was done by a butcher!! It makes me furious
