Peritoneoscopy

It has been performed in our gastroenterology department since 1974. The procedure involves directly displaying the abdominal wall and abdominal organs and collecting biopsy. It holds major diagnostic importance particularly for patients with abdominal fluid retention for unknown reasons.

Considerations before peritonoscopy;

Peritoneoscopy is performed surgically to inpatients. Local anesthetics and intravenous sedation are administered during the procedure. Also, general anesthesia is applied when necessary. Abdominal cavity is inflated with air so that it can be displayed with a special camera.
