The authors assess the value of laparoscopy in the preoperative staging of the adenocarcinoma of the pancreas to prevent unnecessary pancreatic resections in a disseminated disease. By laparoscopy, a macroscopic evaluation, a peroperative liver and pancreas ultrasonography as well as biopsies are possible and are more accurate in assessing the extent of the disease than other means.
