Abstract

An analysis of indications to laparoscopy and an evaluation of the abdominal cavity organs in patients who earlier in their history have undergone laparotomy, is the object of this report. A group of 86 patients was studied and in all cases laparoscopy followed previous laparotomy. Infertility, PPS, and pelvic mass were found to be the most frequent indications to laparoscopy. In 74.4% of patients who had laparotomy in their history, our laparoscopy revealed pelvic adhesions and in 9.3% of patients--endometriosis. Laparoscopy constitutes safe diagnostic and therapeutic procedure, complications occurred in 2.3% of patients.
