Abstract
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common symptom and a difficult condition to manage especially during adolescence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of laparoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of CPP during this period of life. From January 1993 to December 1997, 98 patients, selected from a group of 180 patients who were referred to our clinic underwent laparoscopy. In most cases (60%) no abnormalities were observed. Endometriosis was found in 25% of cases, followed by ovarian cysts 7%, parovarian cysts 3%, pelvic inflammatory disease 3% and adhesions 2%. Laparoscopic treatment was performed as indicated by laparoscopic findings. We conclude that laparoscopy is a valuable and effective procedure in the diagnosis and management of CPP in a selected group of patients.
