    Explorative laparoscopy offers improved abdominal cavity visualization for diagnosing tumors and metastasis. This endoscopic technique aids in clarifying conditions like cholestasis and classifying lymphogranulomata.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Explorative laparoscopy provides enhanced visualization of the abdominal cavity compared to previous methods.
    • Modern endoscopy tables significantly improve the survey capabilities during the procedure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of explorative laparoscopy in a clinical setting.
    • To assess its effectiveness in detecting tumors, metastasis, and clarifying cholestasis.
    • To determine its advantages in classifying lymphogranulomata.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving 105 patients undergoing explorative laparoscopy within one year.
    • Systematic examination of the abdominal cavity, including liver surface observation.
    • Differential diagnosis of conditions such as cholestasis and suspected tumors.

    Main Results:

    • A suspected tumor was confirmed in 57 out of 105 patients (20 times).
    • Metastasis were identified in 11 out of 23 examinations in patients with known primary tumors.
    • Cholestasis was diagnosed in 18 cases, with 6 requiring further clarification due to negative cholecystograms, revealing two inoperable gallbladder carcinomas.
    • Laparoscopy facilitated detailed observation of the liver surface for lymphogranulomata classification.

    Conclusions:

    • Explorative laparoscopy is a valuable tool for abdominal diagnosis, offering improved visualization and diagnostic accuracy.
    • It aids in the detection of malignancy, staging of cancer (metastasis), and differential diagnosis of hepatobiliary conditions.
    • The technique provides advantages over laparotomy for detailed liver surface assessment, particularly in lymphogranulomata classification.
