Background:

Peritoneal surface biopsies are crucial for cancer staging and treatment.
Accurate sampling of diaphragmatic and pelvic peritoneal surfaces can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a novel technique for obtaining peritoneal surface biopsies using surgical clips.
To assess the safety and efficacy of this method for diaphragmatic and pelvic sampling.

Main Methods:

A technique utilizing surgical clips for direct or random biopsies of diaphragmatic peritoneal surfaces was employed.
Specimens were obtained from all peritoneal surfaces, including infracolic and pelvic regions.

Main Results:

The technique has been used for two years without complications in all indicated patients.

Surgical clips proved to be inert, hemostatic, and easy to apply.

Clips facilitated identification of previous implant or metastasis sites during reassessment operations.

Clips served as potential anatomic markers for planning adjuvant therapies like irradiation.

Conclusions:

This surgical clip-assisted biopsy technique is safe and effective for peritoneal surface sampling.
The method simplifies tissue acquisition from challenging anatomical areas.
Surgical clips offer benefits in reassessment surgery and adjuvant treatment planning.
