Laparoscopic surgery is a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool for acute abdomen conditions. Extensive laparoscopic experience is crucial for successful outcomes in emergency surgical interventions.

Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Emergency Medicine

Context:

  • The acute abdomen presents a significant challenge in general surgery.
  • Advancements in laparoscopic techniques have enabled minimally invasive approaches for emergency procedures.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the utility of explorative laparoscopy as a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for patients presenting with acute abdomen.
  • To assess the feasibility of continuing laparoscopic interventions or converting to open surgery based on intraoperative findings.

Summary:

  • From 1993, explorative laparoscopy was employed for acute abdomen diagnoses.
  • Procedures included acute cholecystitis (70), appendicitis (57), perforated peptic ulcers (15), gynecological emergencies (6), intestinal occlusions (8), and splenic traumas (2).
