[The indications for laparoscopy in the diagnosis of hemoperitoneum (author's transl)]. 1979

E Cirino, and G Vadalà, and C Di Mauro, and A Longo, and A Russo

In consideration of the well-known difficulties associated with the precise diagnosis of hemoperitoneum, the authors offer their personal experience in support of laparoscopy as a diagnostic aid in such dramatic events. They review 23 cases of emergency laparoscopy performed in the First Institute of Clinical Surgery of the University of Catania between January 1978 and January 1979. Recalling that the procedure was applied to patients as young as 3 and as old as 80, they confirm the opinion expressed from other quarters, namely that laparoscopy is an essentially harmless and rapid procedure conducive to very accurate diagnosis in view of appropriate planning of therapeutic treatment.
