  • Title: [Diagnostic possibilities of laparoscopy in the assessment of the stage in stomach cancer].
    Author: Popova TN, Korzhenskiĭ FP.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1989 May; (5):33-4. PubMed ID: 2525649.
    Abstract:
    The authors employed laparoscopy as a method of final examination for identifying the stage of a neoplastic process in 259 patients. Obvious signs of generalization of the process were found in 110 patients (42.5 +/- 6.0%). An unnecessary additional trauma--diagnostic laparotomy was avoided in this case. The informativeness of laparoscopic examination was 97.3 +/- 3.6% in metastases to the liver, 96.1 +/- 5.3% in metastatic involvement of the parietal peritoneum, and 87.7 +/- 8.5% in ascites. The diagnosis was verified morphologically.
