Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Procedures
- Diagnostic Laparoscopy
Context:
- Laparoscopy is increasingly utilized in pediatric care.
- Evaluating its utility in a diverse range of pediatric surgical conditions is essential.
- This study reviews experience with 68 pediatric patients.
Purpose:
- To assess the diagnostic and therapeutic value of laparoscopy in infants and children.
- To determine the efficacy of laparoscopy for specific pediatric surgical indications.
- To highlight the advantages of laparoscopic procedures in pediatric patients.
Summary:
- Laparoscopy was performed in 68 pediatric patients for various indications including non-palpable testes (50 cases), liver diseases (7 cases), and abdominal trauma (4 cases).
- The procedure demonstrated considerable advantages in the diagnosis and management of these pediatric disorders.
- Key applications included the evaluation of undescended testes and intra-abdominal pathologies.
