Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of application of video-laparoscopy to the treatment of acute severe inflammatory pelvic pain in women. Methods Forty-two women patients with severe acute inflammatory pelvic pain were divided randomly into two groups with 21 patients in each group. Conservative therapies were carried out in Group A while laparoscopic operations in Group B. Results Eighteen cases (85.7%) in Group A returned to health, and in the remaining 3 (14.3%), conservative measures failed and thus exploratory operations were performed. Meanwhile all the patients in Group B were treated successfully, with the operative time (42.5?20.6) min, the average blood loss 20ml and the mean hospital stay 7 days. Body temperatures returned to normal on the day of operation and no complications occurred. Conclusions Laparoscopy may be feasibly applied to the treatment of women with severe acute inflammatory pelvic pain, producing results superior to conservative therapies.
