Abstract
Laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS) has become an important tool in the stag ing of hepatic, pancreatic, and gastrointestinal malignancies. It also plays an important role in the palliation and treatment of these mali gnancies. The use of laparoscopy and LUS in diagnosis, staging, pallia tion, and treatment of intra-abdominal malignancies is discussed, with a focus on the literature and our own experience.
