Abstract

UNLABELLED: From 1992 to 1995, 1565 laparoscopic operations were performed in Roubaix. We report on six complications. OBJECTIVE: To compare this figure with these of the French collaborative study done from 1987 to 1991 by seven departments known for their laparoscopic activity, including Roubaix. RESULTS: The trends are good. The rate of injuries was stable in spite of increasingly complex procedures. The largest portion of visceral and even vascular injuries were repaired by laparoscopy reducing by the same amount use of laparotomy. CONCLUSIONS: Strict adherence to safety guidelines and specific training of surgeons reduce the need of laparotomy for laparoscopic complication.
