Diagnostic laparoscopy, developed in the early 1900s, has become an integral part of evaluation in the management of abdominal malignancy, including hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic hepatic cancer, and abdominal lymphoma. When compared with computerized tomography and ultrasound, laparoscopic diagnosis is superior, or at least complementary, to conventional imaging. Laparoscopic evaluation and staging of abdominal cancer will become of greater importance because of the increasing role of palliative procedures and multi-modality therapy.
诊断性腹腔镜检查始于20世纪初，现已成为腹部恶性肿瘤（包括肝细胞癌、转移性肝癌和腹部淋巴瘤）管理评估中不可或缺的一部分。与计算机断层扫描和超声相比，腹腔镜诊断优于传统成像，或至少与之互补。由于姑息治疗和多模态治疗的作用日益增加，腹腔镜对腹部癌症的评估和分期将变得更加重要。
