1.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 05/01/1992 - "Nonetheless, biological analyses of the tumor may prove in the future to be necessary for determining whether or not laparotomy is the best treatment." 02/01/1988 - "As determined by a careful second-look laparotomy in patients with complete clinical remission the DD marker was highly predictive of tumors less than 1 cm. The negative predictive value (82%) was higher than the positive predictive value (69%). " 01/01/1984 - "The best results were obtained by application of X-ray contrast clips (type K-45) superimposed on tumor during laparotomy. " 01/01/2003 - "When small bowel obstruction does not show improvement with conservative treatment, and if the possibility of peritoneal cancer recurrence is excluded by thorough examinations, it is important to perform laparotomy early to resolve the symptoms of bowel obstruction and restore the patient's quality of life." 12/01/1998 - "SRS also had 3 important false-positive results, including 1 patient who had laparotomy with no tumor identified.

2.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 12/01/1987 - "While most reported series classify lavage results as true-positive when intraperitoneal blood is found at exploration, even if secondary to trivial injuries which do not require surgical therapy (nontherapeutic laparotomy), we believe that these should be classified as false-positive results, as was done in this study. " 03/01/2002 - "The need for splenectomy was most significantly correlated with higher grades of splenic injury especially grades IV and V. The evolution in management of blunt splenic trauma has led to a significant improvement in splenic preservation and avoidance of laparotomy for many patients. " 02/01/1999 - "Safe and effective treatment of GI tract injuries is compatible with nonoperative management of most other injuries associated with blunt abdominal trauma in children, while reducing the risk of nontherapeutic laparotomy." 01/01/2006 - "We hypothesize that diagnostic laparoscopy provides important information for the treatment of children with abdominal trauma and is accompanied by improved diagnostic accuracy, reduction of nontherapeutic laparotomy rates, and a reduction of morbidity. " 08/01/1989 - "These results lead to the rejection of the null hypothesis and confirm the clinical observation that besides reducing operative trauma, discomfort, and cost, laparoscopic laser surgery is very effective in reducing intraperitoneal adhesions and causes significantly less postoperative adhesion formation than does laparotomy."

3.	Carcinoma (Carcinomatosis) 07/01/1997 - "CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopy represents a safe and effective diagnostic procedure in the preoperative staging of esophageal and cardia carcinoma; it provides the potential to avoid unnecessary exploratory laparotomies and to select the most appropriate treatment." 09/01/2005 - "Other factors associated with reduced risk of relapse and death were complete pathologic remission at second-look laparotomy and family history of breast and ovarian carcinoma, respectively. " 09/01/2004 - "Of 96 histologically confirmed stage II-IV epithelial ovarian carcinoma patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery followed by high-dose, platin-based chemotherapy, 57 were in complete clinical remission at the end of therapy and 50 underwent a second-look laparotomy. " 07/01/1995 - "CONCLUSIONS: As long as preoperative staging systems are not improved (which may be in the future the case with endosonography), all operable patients with gastric carcinoma should undergo a laparotomy or laparoscopy, because only intraoperative evaluation of the surgeon allows a decision on a possible curative resection. " 01/01/1991 - "Between January 1980 and December 1990, 107 ovarian carcinoma patients in clinical complete remission were submitted to a second-look laparotomy at our department. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Ovarian Neoplasms (Ovarian Cancer) 07/01/2000 - "About 40 years ago, second-look laparotomy (SLL) was introduced to evaluate, surgically and pathologically, primary treatment in case a clinical complete remission was obtained in ovarian cancer patients. " 01/01/2000 - "MATERIAL AND METHODS: Having observed complete clinical remission in 356 patients with ovarian cancer, second-look laparotomy was performed. " 02/01/1994 - "In conclusion, IPC-CT could be very effective in monitoring response to treatment and could markedly reduce the number of ovarian cancer patients requiring second-look laparotomy." 05/03/1986 - "Complete remission at laparotomy: still a gold standard in ovarian cancer?" 01/01/1985 - "The histopathological findings at second-look laparotomy in 20 patients with complete clinical remission of epithelial ovarian cancer were compared with the findings at preoperative ultrasound (US) examination. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Hodgkin Disease (Hodgkin's Disease) 01/01/1994 - "The aim of this review is to examine critically, in Hodgkin's disease and in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, (a) whether combined modality treatment is superior to optimal radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone in most stages of the disease; (b) whether its indications could be further expanded by the use of new drug regimens and newer radiation techniques that can now substantially reduce the risk of long-term iatrogenic morbidity; and (c) whether it may become a necessary approach in the future because staging laparotomy and even lymphangiography are progressively falling into disuse. " 08/01/1984 - "No second primary lesions or death with complete remission were observed in Group II. Staging laparotomy with splenectomy in early-stage Hodgkin's disease did not improve the duration of remission or survival or decrease the number of abdominal relapses compared with closed staging." 09/01/1994 - "Laparotomy staged patients who received radiotherapy only for stage I and II Hodgkin's disease had better outcome than clinically staged patients. " 04/01/1985 - "The immune deficiencies of Hodgkin's disease persist to some degree even after the patients are clinically cured; these may be amplified by loss of splenic immunologic functions after staging laparotomy and splenectomy. " 08/01/1976 - "Staging laparotomy, consisting of splenectomy and biopsies of liver, lymph nodes, and bone marrow, is a very useful adjunct in the workup of a patient with Hodgkin's disease.
