Abstract:Objective
To evaluate the impact of surgical approach on tumour growth and survival of xenografted nude mice.
Materials and methods
237 mice which had received 106 SKOV‐3 (human ovarian adenocarcinoma) cells subcutaneously and intraperitoneally, were anaesthetized for 60 min. The animals were randomly allocated to one of four groups: control group (n = 57), laparotomy (n = 61), CO2 laparoscopy (n = 62), or He laparoscopy (n = 57).
Results
Scar tumour grafts were found in 83.6% in the laparotomy group and in 64… Show more
