Objective:Blood biochemistry,ascites tests,and imaging examinations have low sensitivities in abdominal neoplasm diagnoses.In addition,exploratory laparotomy is not suitable for final stage patients.Mini-laparoscopy has recently emerged as a new diagnostic technology for abdominal disease.The aim of this research was to evaluate the value of mini-laparoscopy in diagnosing abdominal neoplasms.Methods:Clinical and operational data were retrospectively analyzed in 20 cases with pathologically confirmed abdominal malignancies.Of these,10 cases were each diagnosed by mini-laparoscopy and exploratory laparotomy.The surgical and anesthesia expenses,perioperative nursing,monitoring and treating charges,postoperative hospital stay and complications were compared between groups.Results:The surgical and anesthesia costs were statistically lower in patients who received a mini-laparoscopy (P<0.01).Perioperative drug expenses and nursing and monitoring charges were also significantly decreased (P<0.05 and P<0.01,respectively).Further,the gastrointestinal function recovery time and postoperative hospital stay were significantly reduced in the mini-laparoscopy group.There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the preoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications.Conclusion:Mini-laparoscopy effectively reduces surgical injury and treatment costs,and is capable of safely diagnosing abdominal tumors.Moreover,the procedure is also easy to perform.

Results: The surgical and anesthesia costs were statistically lower in patients who received a mini-laparoscopy (P <0.01). Perioperative drug expenses and nursing and monitoring charges were also significantly decreased (P <0 .05 and P <0.01, respectively). Further, the gastrointestinal function recovery time and postoperative hospital stay were significantly reduced in the mini-laparoscopy group. There was no significant difference between the two groups for the preoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications. Conlusion : Mini-laparoscopy effectively reduces surgical injury and treatment costs, and is capable of safely diagnosing abdominal tumors. Moreover, the procedure is also easy to perform.
