Abstract:
In 582 patients, laparoscopy was performed for acute abdominal pain and symptoms of acute abdomen. It allowed a clear diagnosis in 96% as compared to 42% by sonography and 25% by X-ray. In 134 cases (22%) laparotomy (i.e. unnecessary appendectomy) could be avoided. In 42% surgery could be performed laparoscopically, and 36% required surgery by laparotomy.
