The so-called extended diagnostic laparoscopy (EDL) facilitates the comprehensive exploration of the abdominal cavity, thus improving the precision of the pretherapeutic tumor staging in gastrointestinal malignancies. EDL comprises visual inspection with a specific preparation of all relevant sites, laparoscopic sonography and retrieval of samples for ...

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1998
Laparoscopy has been shown to be a safe and effective method to establish or rule out a diagnosis in difficult clinical situations and, in selected cases, provide minimally invasive access for therapeutic procedures. Relevant indications for diagnostic laparoscopy in the pediatric population include evaluation of a contralateral patent processus ...

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1990
Reproductive laparoscopy can be used to examine, photograph, and perform surgery on the internal reproductive organs of both the male and female of many species of animals. The equipment and teaching have been adapted from human medicine. This article discusses laparoscopy's use in this context in small and large animals and non-domestic species both ...

Unnecessary abdominal explorations in severely injured patients can be reduced by employing emergent or urgent laparoscopy in blunt abdominal trauma and the obscured, acute abdominal cases. In 150 blunt abdominal trauma cases, a mini-laparoscopy was used in the emergency room or the intensive care unit without major complications.

Endoscopy, 2004
Since the early part of the 20th century, diagnostic laparoscopy has become an important tool in the armamentarium of surgeons and gastroenterologists alike. Its indications have expanded from initial attempts at tamponading internal hemorrhage to avoidance of unnecessary laparotomies with accurate staging of malignancies, treatment of a multitude of ...

Many of the complications of conventional closed, or sharp, laparoscopy result from the use of insufflation needles and sharp trocars. These instruments are not essential elements of the technique as laparoscopy can be easily performed with a small umbilical incision, entering the abdomen under direct vision. This variation is called open laparoscopy.

Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, 2001
Urologic laparoscopy initially was confined to a diagnostic role or the treatment of benign conditions. Many of these initial procedures, however, have been abandoned because they offered no significant benefit over open surgery. The treatment of urologic malignancies, however, recently has emerged as the most common indication for laparoscopic ...

Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1991
Laparoscopy is a unique procedure which can be used in diagnostic or therapeutic situations involving intra-abdominal pathology. Until recently, open laparotomy has been the preferred method for such evaluations. The following cases indicate the increased sensitivity, specificity, safety, and cost effectiveness of laparoscopy in diagnostic situations.
