title: One or two liver biopsies during laparoscopy?
abstract: "Laparobiopsies" were taken from the right and left liver lobe of 57 patients. Despite some minor discrepancies, the histologic diagnoses "overlapped" in most cases. Moreover, a highly significant correlation was detected between the scores of histologic parameters (inflammation, fibrosis, necrosis and steatosis) evaluated in the two series of biopsies.
