Diagnostic Laparoscopy
This is a surgical procedure for the purpose of making a diagnosis.
In some situations when a diagnosis is in doubt, a laparoscopy
can provide the needed information to make a diagnosis. This
may involve taking a biopsy of the liver or a biopsy of some
lymph nodes in front of the back. Or it may involve using
an ultrasound probe guided by the laparoscopic view. The use
of diagnostic laparoscopy requires three small incisions and
results in a return to normal activities within a week.
