ABSTRACT

Background and purpose:Blood biochemistry and ascites test, imageology examination has low sensitivity in abdominal neoplasmas diagnosis. And also exploratory laparotomy is not suitable for final stage patients. Mini-laparoscopy has been a new diagnostic technology for abdominal disease recently. We aimed was to evaluate the value of Mini-laparoscopy in diagnosing Abdominal Neoplasms. Methods:By reviewing the clinical and operational data, a retrospective analysis of 20 cases with pathologically confirmed abdominal malignancies was performed. Among this group, 10 cases were diagnosed by mini-laparoscopy, and the other 10 cases by exploratory laparotomy. Between the two groups, the surgical expense, anesthesia cost, para-operation nursing, monitoring and treating charges, post- operative hospital days and complications were compared. Results:Comparing mini-laparoscopy to exploratory laparotomy, the surgical and anesthesia charges were statistically lowered (P
