title: [Laparoscopy in the diagnosis of abdominal diseases in children].
abstract: The results of laparoscopy performed in 1988-1990 in 112 children with tumours and cysts of the abdominal cavity, with diseases of the liver and bile ducts are presented. Of them in 60%, the puncture biopsy was performed. Use of laparoscopy in 64.28% of the sufferers with closed abdominal trauma permitted to avoid performance of needless laparotomy. For suspected acute appendicitis, laparoscopy was performed in 80 patients: in 36 of them, no signs of the disease were revealed, in 14--other diseases were detected, in 30--diagnosis was confirmed. A high informative value of the given method in the diagnosis of abdominal diseases in children was noted.
