This paper evaluates the usefulness of pelviscopic (pelviscopy) surgery for gynecologic treatment beyond its diagnostic role, based on a case series of 136 patients treated at a single department between May 1991 and July 1993. The most common indication was tubal pregnancy (66.9%), with other indications including ovarian cysts and a range of additional conditions such as endometriosis, corpus luteum cyst rupture, parovarian cysts, foreign body, tubal ligation, hydrosalpinx, and uterine myoma; mean age was 31.2 years and mean parity 0.96. The authors report a mean hospitalization of 2.1 days with no specific complications described, and frame the procedure as having low cost, rapid recovery, good cosmetic outcomes, low complication rates, and reduced postoperative adhesion. The paper is relevant to endometriosis: endometriosis is listed among the indications for pelviscopic surgery in this treatment-focused case series, though the overall study is about the general gynecologic application of pelviscopy rather than endometriosis specifically.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the usefulness of pelviscopy in treatment besides its diagnostic value. The advantages of pelviscopic surgery are low cost, rapid recovery, good cosmetic effect, low incidence of complication and postoperative adhesion. So most of the pelvic exploration in gynecologic patients are replaced by the pelviscopic surgery these days. Pelviscopic surgery was performed on 136 patients at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, College of Medicine, Yenungnam University from May 1991 to July 1993. The results obtained were as follows : The age distribution of the patients was from 19 to 55 with age of 31.2 years, and the mean parity was 0.96, the most common indication of pelviscopic surgery was tubal pregnancy(66.9%), the second most common indications was ovarian cyst(10.3%) and the other indications were endometriosis, corpus iuteum cyst rupture, parovarian cyst, foreign body, tubal ligation, hydrosalpinx, uterine myoma and in 16.3%. The mean duration of hospitalization was 2.1 days without specific complications. According to these results, it was postulated that the pelviscopic surgery was a useful operative tool in gynecologic treatment and its application could be extended to many other areas of gynecology with safety by the development of surgical techniques and instruments.
