Laparoscopic ultrasonography for hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancy

Abstract: Despite the advances made since the introduction of ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, a wide discrepancy may occur between preoperative and peroperative staging of gastrointestinal malignancy with liver and peritoneal metastases. Diagnostic laparoscopy performed immediately before a planned laparotomy can provide valuable information for the accurate assessment and appropriate management of some forms of gastrointestinal malignancy, especially that of the liver and pancreas. … Show more

“…US during laparoscopy is thus a useful addition to this diagnostic procedure, as we reported earlier. 23 The relative contribution of LUS to DL is even greater in patients who are undergoing evaluation for liver resection. In this case, the issue is not just whether metastases are present, but also their exact number and their location relative to the vital anatomy of the liver.…”

“…Currently, an increasing number of reports are emerging, evaluating the benefit of LUS in abdominal tumor staging [7][8][9][13][14][15][16]. These studies show an additional benefit of LUS in 5-25% of patients.…”

“…Later, the indications were extended to fenestration of liver cysts and anatomic liver resections [27,28,29,30,31,32]. The group of Cuesta et al [19] was in 1995 the first to report two cases of limited laparoscopic liver surgery of segment II and IV in the Netherlands.…”
