[Diagnosis and therapy of acute adnexitis using laparoscopy].

In cases of acute adnexitis laparoscopy is an excellent diagnostic method. By this way we found in 182 patients with clinical symptoms only 50,5% acute inflammatory diseases of adnexa. On the other hand there was a normal genital status in 18,1%, acute appendicitis in 9,9%, ectopic pregnancy in 7,7% etc. Clinical examinations and second-look-laparoscopy 6--8 weeks after ending the treatment cases of salpingitis alone showed the best results. Patients with more extensive inflammatory reactions had more adhesions too. An early diagnosis and treatment under hospital conditions is recommended. We have good experiences with immediately operation in cases of suppurative inflammation of the adnexa, which are only diagnosticate by laparoscopy.
