Registry summary (technical)
This research project, to be conducted at the Institute of Liver \& Biliary Sciences, aims to evaluate the effectiveness of staging laparoscopy (SL) in detecting occult metastases in hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) malignancies in the current era of advanced imaging modalities such as MDCT, MRI, EUS, and PET-CT. While SL is a minimally invasive technique that aids in identifying radiologically undetectable metastases, its utility in routine practice is under scrutiny due to improved imaging accuracy. The study is premised on the hypothesis that the yield of SL is low in the current imaging era, q…
