[Laparoscopic and thoracoscopic reintervention after mini-invasive surgery in emergencies].

One-hundred-eighty patients underwent emergency minimally invasive procedures (laparo and thoracoscopy) in the last two years. In twelve postoperative drawbacks another surgical procedure was performed. Laparoscopic or thoracoscopic exploration was undertaken in 8 cases while open surgery was done in 4. Complications and surgical overtiming rate was higher after endoscopic than open surgery. This approach allows us to correct very few and selected disease when a skilled surgical team is available especially during reoperations.
