Abstract:
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Peritoneoscopy allows the clinician to assess the activity of the surface of the liver and helps him to make a prognosis in cases of liver disease by judging the structural changes of the surface. In chromoperitoneoscopy using an intravenous injection of indocyanine green (ICG), hepatic parenchyme is stained after intravenous injection of ICG while interstitial connective tissue, fatty deposition and hepatoma are not. So diagnostic accuracy is, therefore believed to be elevated in chromoperitoneoscopy than conventional peritoneoscopy or blind liver biopsy. This study was performed to assess the clinical usefulness of chromoperitoneoscopy in various chronic liver diseases. METHODS: Intravenous ICG was administered at 2 mg/Kg mixed with 20 cc of saline in 30 cases with several kinds of hepatic disorders during conventional peritoneoscopic examinatians. Liver surface was examined 5 minutes after ICG injection.
