✦ Synopsis

Laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS) has become an important tool in the staging of hepatic, pancreatic, and gastrointestinal malignancies. It also plays an important role in the palliation and treatment of these malignancies. The use of laparoscopy and LUS in diagnosis, staging, palliation, and treatment of intra-abdominal malignancies is discussed, with a focus on the literature and our own experience.
