โœฆ Synopsis

Our experience with peritoneoscopy in the postoperative staging and evaluation of ten patients with locally unresectable adenocarcinoma of the exocrine pancreas is presented. In contrast to the German experience with previously unexplored patients, the pancreas was visualized only 30% of the time and biopsy was not possible for technical reasons. Based on our experience in these ten patients, postoperative peritoneoscopy for staging or for following the effectiveness of treatment is of limited value in carcinoma of the pancreas. Preoperative evaluation of this technique deserves greater attention.
