Abstract

Chronic abdominal pain is a difficult complaint. It leads to evident suffering and disability, both physically and psychologically. Laparoscopy is one of the modalities that could be of benefit in such cases. We aim to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of laparoscopy in cases with chronic abdominal pain.As results, the most common site of pain was the right lower quadrant (50%). A definitive diagnosis was made in 45 patients (90%) while 5 patients (10%) had no obvious pathology. Appendiceal pathology were the most common laparoscopic findings (40.7%) followed by ovarian pathology (16.7%), and adhesions (14.8%). Postoperatively, pain relief was achieved in 47 patients (94%) after two months. Laparoscopy is an effective diagnostic and therapeutic modality in the management of patients with chronic abdominal pain.
