PROCEDURE

Staging Laparoscopy

Resectable pancreatobiliary cancer confirmed by radiologic studies (CT scan, MRI, PET-CT) and no evidence of distant metastasis. Staging laparoscopy will perform through 2 ports and a 30˚ laparoscope is inserted into the peritoneal cavity. Examining the whole abdominal wall, including the parietal and visceral peritonea, we will observe the liver surface from the dome area to the inferior surface and hepatoduodenal ligament in order to find metastatic nodules. Laparoscopic ultrasound (US) will be used to overcome in inspecting the posterior part of the liver. After complete laparoscopic examination, peritoneal lavage will be performed through the laparoscopic port.
