[Place of laparoscopy in the diagnosis of acute surgical diseases of the organs of the abdominal cavity]. 1975

M I Shapiro

The author reports the results of 76 laparoscopies performed in 75 patients with clinically suspected acute surgical diseases (22), peritonitis (38), injuries to internal organs in a blunt abdominal trauma (16 patients). As a result of laparoscopic studies the precise clinical diagnosis was established in 39 patients, and the necessity of urgent therapy was supported, in 3 cases the operation was postponed. Acute surgical diseases were excluded in 33 of 75 examined subjects. There were no cases of pseudonegative diagnosis.
