title: [Pelviscopic surgery in gynaecology (author's transl)].
abstract: Surgery of the fallopian tubes has today developed into pelviscopic surgery. The development of suitable instruments such as the tube set, a new endocoagulation method were prerequisites for this development. Operative therapeutic pelviscopic surgery is a development past laparotomy. It is now possible to treat adhesions in the abdomen with this method, to coagulate and divide fallopian tubes for sterilization, to aspirate ovarian cysts and resect walls of ovarian cysts, to coagulate endometriosis and to perform salpingolysis and salpingostomy. In selected cases ovariectomy and myomectomy are possible through the pelviscope. Tables and statistics on 3300 pelviscopies are presented. The indications are discussed. The use of pelviscopy following previous laparotomy (1831 cases) is discussed. The complication rate was 1.10% without death, without injury to large vessels, without embolic phenomenon. The operative risk is therefore less than that of laparotomy. The operative therapeutic pelviscopy can replace the classical laparotomy in about 25% of the cases. For the operation of tubal infertility, a laparotomy is eliminated in about 80% of the cases.
