Overview

Laparoscopy and biopsy: During this test, a thin, lighted scope is put in through a small cut in abdomen to look at the liver and other organs. The test can help the doctor in diagnosis or treatment plans. Also through this tube, the doctor can use small probes to take out tissue samples to be checked under the microscope by pathologists.
