What is Bilateral Peritoneal smearing?
Bilateral peritoneal smearing is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the peritoneal fluid from both sides of the abdominal cavity. This technique involves collecting samples and then preparing smears for microscopic evaluation to identify the presence of abnormal cells, such as cancerous cells or signs of infection. It is often utilized in the context of assessing conditions like peritoneal carcinomatosis or other abdominal pathologies. The results can provide valuable insights into the underlying causes of abdominal symptoms.
