New methods of pelviscopy (gynecologic laparoscopy) for myomectomy, ovariectomy, tubectomy and adnectomy.
The development of suitable instruments for perfect grasping, cutting, sucking, ligating and of a new system of performing hemostasis by endocoagulation through a 7--11 mm phi trocar-sheath enables us to initiate effective endoscopical intraabdominal surgery. New surgical techniques are being investigated on greater than 2.000 cases of surgical pelviscopic interventions which were performed between 1973--1976. Since 1977 we have extended the endoscopical intraabdominal surgery as follows: Myomectomy (subserous), adnectomy, ovarian-cyst-resection, cystomectomy, tubectomy in case of tubal pregnancy. In 115 cases no intra- or postoperative complications have occurred. Normal postsurgical healing procedure could be checked on 18 re-pelviscopies and on 2 later laparotomies. The new technical equipment has opened us together with special surgical procedures a new era of gynecologic surgery.
