title: [Operative pelviscopy: notes on the technique].
abstract: The authors illustrate the present possibilities of operative pelviscopy with particular regard to its indications and to the surgical technique. The endoscopic technique can today be applied in around 70% of benign affections of the female genital apparatus. Most authors agree that ovarian cysts, adhesions, ectopic pregnancies, and myomas of the uterus are, within certain limits, treatable electively with endoscopic technique; reservations still prevail in the case of hysterectomy and serious doubts in that of pelvic lymphadenectomy. Pelviscopy has proved to be both useful and safe; indeed, out of 372 operations carried out by the authors, only three had to be converted, and no complications were ever observed requiring either a laparotomy or a further pelviscopy.
