Overview[edit | edit source]
Laparoscopy has the advantage of directly visualizing the liver surface, the peritoneum, and local lymph nodes. Diagnostic laparoscopy is especially important for patients who are being considered for a trial of neoadjuvant therapy.
Staging Laparoscopy[edit | edit source]
- Laparoscopy has the advantage of directly visualizing the liver surface, the peritoneum, and local lymph nodes.[1]
- Laparoscopy has the ability to perform peritoneal cytology.[2]
- Some trials suggest that all stage T3/4 patients diagnosed with ultrasound should undergo staging laparoscopy.[3]
- Diagnostic laparoscopy is especially important for patients who are being considered for a trial of neoadjuvant therapy.
