[The importance of intra-abdominal adhesions for laparoscopy]

The explorative laparoscopy has changed the attitude to certain contraindications. Concretions are of importance for the disposition of the penumoperitoneum and for the inspection. Their view is variable and is of importance only after larger intraabdominal interventions. In 218 laparoscopies performed we found 55 times concretions, of them important ones in three fourths. In 90% additional diagnostic points of view could be got.
