Role of Laparoscopy in Diagnosing and Staging of Abdominal Malignancies: A Prospective Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: In the diagnosis of abdominal/extra-abdominal malignancies, a wide range of non-invasive techniques are available to the present day surgeon. The diagnosis and staging of malignancies have been revolutionized by the advent of non-invasive investigations such as ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 20patients admitted on routine opd/emergency basis in gmc Jammu as diagnosed/undiagnosed cases of intra/extra abdominal malignancies from October 2011 to October 2013. All patients with suspected abdominal malignancies were included in the study. Patients with severe co-morbidities were excluded from the study. Patients with contraindications for laparoscopic procedures were excluded from the study Results: It was seen that staging laparoscopy has a significant role in the management of abdominal malignancies and can improve the outcome in large numbers of patients. Conclusion: We suggest that staging laparoscopy should be a routine tool in the armamentarium of all surgeons operating on abdominal malignancies. It should be used as a diagnostic tool complimenting other imaging modalities.
