Abstract:
Indications, technique and diagnostic value of peritoneoscopy in infancy and childhood are reviewed from the literature; own results are discussed as well. Peritoneoscopy is an important procedure in the diagnosis of chronic inflammatory liver disease and gonadal dysgenesis in this age group. If other diseases are suspected, non-invasive examination techniques may give sufficient diagnostic information.
