Abstract

The last ten years have been characterized by a tremendous change in laparoscopy. Initially used exclusively for diagnosis, laparoscopy is now a surgical method in its own right and plays a strategic role. Long-term evaluation of results for various pathologies (such as ectopic pregnancy and tubo-peritoneal sterility) means that just one laparoscopic procedure can be used for diagnosis, selection of the best therapeutic approach and also for treatment in those cases where laparoscopy is the optimum choice. Other more recent indications (including hysterectomy, lymphadenectomy etc.) which are now possible thanks to recent technological developments (such as clips and mechanical sutures) need long-term analysis of their results.
