Abstract

Peritoneoscopic examination was performed in 9 cases with gastric cancer and the usefulness of peritoneoscopy for determination of operative indication was evaluated. Peritoneoscopy was accurate for diagnosis of extension of gastric cancer, especially in observation of serosal invasion, peritoneal dissemination and metastasis to the liver. In addition, there was a case diagnosed more accurately by peritoneoscopy than by surgical operation. It is concluded that peritoneoscopy is useful to determine operative indication in such a case without obvious cancerous ascites, metastasis to other organs by imaging, and distant metastasis.
