Summary
In an area endemic for Schistosoma mansoni infection laparoscopy was performed in 45 patients with liver disease. Hepatic schistosomiasis was diagnosed by histology in 20 cases. The only complication encountered was unusual bleeding from the biopsy site in one patient. Liver lobe size was variable. Mild uniform irregularity of the liver surface was seen in most of the patients. Other changes noted were macronodularity, lumpy surface, tiny white tubercles, white patchy discoloration, and thick and thin adhesions. Characteristic features of the liver surface in Schistosoma mansoni infection as seen on laparoscopy are thus described.
