    Area of Science:

    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Diagnostic Procedures

    Background:

    • Peritoneoscopy is an invasive diagnostic procedure.
    • It requires surgical skill and careful clinical correlation.
    • Its safety has been established in over 2,500 cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of peritoneoscopy.
    • To highlight its advantages over other diagnostic modalities.
    • To demonstrate its role in surgical planning and patient management.

    Main Methods:

    • Peritoneoscopy performed following thorough clinical examination.
    • Direct visualization and biopsy for histological diagnosis.
    • Integration of findings into surgical decision-making.

    Main Results:

    • Peritoneoscopy provides a final histological diagnosis, eliminating conjecture.
    • It is particularly valuable for diagnosing liver pathology, ascites, jaundice, malignancy, and tuberculosis.
    • The procedure is safe when performed with surgical expertise.

    Conclusions:

    • Peritoneoscopy is a valuable tool for early histological diagnosis, especially when non-invasive techniques are insufficient.
    • It aids in surgical planning, reduces morbidity by preventing unnecessary surgery, and shortens hospital stays.
    • Its judicious use is beneficial in managing the acute abdomen.
