[Indications for laparoscopy in emergency abdominal surgery].

An analysis of 107 urgent laparoscopies enabled the authors to establish exact and full indications for using this method in hospital of general surgery. Proposals to improve the examination methods and to make them simpler are given. An original method of intraoperative laparoscopy is described. The authors give recommendations for using expedient laparoscopy in departments of urgent surgery as a sufficiently effective and accessible method of diagnosis and in certain cases as a method of treatment of emergent conditions.
