[Endoscopic appendectomy in gynecology and obstetrics].
From 1987 to 1990, 99 patients were treated for appendicitis. 67 patients were treated by endoscopic appendectomy, 32 patients underwent laparotomy for appendectomy. Among these 67 patients we found 4 patients with endometriosis, 6 with pelvic inflammatory disease, and 4 pregnant patients. In no case did we have difficulties during the laparoscopic operation; only 4 patients developed severe inflammatory complications during the postoperative period. For this reason, we do not perform a prophylactic appendectomy during gynaecological laparoscopies. We recommend careful postoperative treatment after laparoscopic appendectomy.
