Abstract:
Objective To explore the application of laparoscopy in non-traumatic acute abdominal emergency. Methods The authors retrospectively analyzed 201 cases of emergency laparoscopy between March 1999 and May 2002. Results All the 201 patients were unequivocally diagnosed during operation. Laparoscopic operations were successfully completed in 190 cases (139 cases of acute appendicitis, 21 cases of acute cholecystitis, 19 cases of upper gastrointestinal tract perforation, 10 cases of intestinal obstruction and 1 case of common bile duct stones accompanied with acute cholecystitis), with a success rate of 94.5% (190/201). The remaining 11 patients underwent a conversion to open surgery. Conclusions Emergency laparoscopic exploration can not only clarify a diagnosis for acute abdominal emergency with unknown causes but also simultaneously offer a therapeutic method in at least 90% of cases.
