Biopsy should not compromise definitive surgical procedure.
Does it mean that biopsy should not replace surgical procedure and radical surgery should be performed in any case? Help me, please!!!

interfere with
another option.
Maybe also: affect negatively
another suggestion alongside Marian's. I was first leaning towards "prevent or "should not be an indicator to forgo the definitely planned surgery" but I think that would be too strong.

be detrimental to/be damaging to
The biopsy should not *be detrimental to" the definitive surgical procedure.
or
The biopsy should not "be damaging to" the definitive surgical procedure.
- Have a 'negative effect on' or 'interfere with' as someone else said.
Good luck!
