โœฆ Synopsis

Between 1969 and 1983, 123

patients with Hodgkin's disease underwent a staging laparotomy. The stages of 34 (27%) patients were changed by laparatomy. Twenty-nine patients (23 %) were upstaged, five (4%) downstaged. The most considerable change was found in stage 111. The accuracy of preoperative lymphangiography was 85 % . The postoperative complication rate was 15 % . There were no operative deaths. The staging laparotomy for Hodgkin's disease is a reliable procedure, and allows less aggressive therapy in selective groups.

Between 1977 and 1984, 50 patients with Hodgkin's disease underwent a staging laparotomy performed by nine surgeons in a community hospital. Adequate procedures were performed in 80% of cases compared to staging laparotomies done between 1969 and 1976 when only 40% were properly performed. Abdominal
