In a series of 34 consecutive staging laparotomies for Hodgkin's disease, unsuspected disease was discovered below the diaphragm in four cases (11,8%). The clinical staging was changed in 11 cases (32,4%). These data correspond to the results in most large series. Since staging laparotomy can be performed with minimal morbidity and gives the clinician the information essential to a rational plan of therapy, it is suggested that staging be performed prior to initiation of treatment in all patients with Hodgkin's disease not clinically proven to be disseminated.
在对34例连续进行的霍奇金病分期剖腹探查术中，有4例（11.8%）在横膈以下发现了未被怀疑的病变。11例（32.4%）的临床分期发生了改变。这些数据与大多数大型研究系列的结果相符。由于分期剖腹探查术的发病率极低，且能为临床医生提供制定合理治疗方案所需的关键信息，因此建议对所有临床未证实有播散的霍奇金病患者在开始治疗前进行分期。
