Abdominal imaging: ultrasound, CT, magnetic resonance can show thickened peritoneum, ascites, intra-abdominal mass and fistula. Abdominal X-ray film can be used to diagnose intestinal obstruction.

Laparoscopy: it is suitable for those who have more ascites and have difficulties in diagnosis. Extensive peritoneal adhesions are prohibited. 4.
