Emergency laparoscopic surgery]
Il Giornale di chirurgia(1996)
Abstract
The acute abdomen continues to be a large part of the general surgeon's workload. The continuing advances in laparoscopic surgery have already permitted many emergency procedures to be performed by this route. Since 1993 the Authors perform an explorative laparoscopy in patients with acute abdomen. Once the diagnosis is verified, the endoscopic view suggests to continue the intervention laparoscopically or to convert the procedure. 70 acute cholecystitis, 57 acute appendicitis, 15 perforated peptic ulcers, 6 gynaecological emergencies, 8 intestinal occlusions and 2 splenic traumas were treated according to this approach. The results obtained testify that laparoscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool for the surgeon in case of acute abdomen and an interesting therapeutic alternative in selected cases. However, it requires extensive experience in laparoscopic techniques.
