  • Title: [Diagnostic-operative laparoscopy. Our experience].
    Author: Ribero F, Comotti F, Scaglia M, Ragusa L.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1994 Jun; 49(6):533-7. PubMed ID: 7970057.
    Abstract:
    Diagnostic laparoscopy has been an integral part of our surgical practice for over 4 years. Between 1988-1992, 100 diagnostic laparoscopies have been performed in this institution without mortality. We have found the procedure to be particularly useful in the following situation: 1) Hepatobiliary disease where it is used in conjunction with targeted liver biopsy. 2) Acute emergency cases. These include the diagnosis of acute peritonitis, abdominal trauma and in patients with suspected mesenteric ischaemia. 3) In the staging of intra-abdominal malignancy especially gastric, oesophageal, colonic, peritoneal and pancreatic neoplasms.
