[Gynecological endoscopic surgery. Surgical approach by laparoscopy].
We report the first 32 patients in whom surgical procedures were performed through laparoscopy. We practiced adhrenciolysis, biopsy and fenestration of cystic ovarian lesions, section of uterosacral ligaments as a treatment for pelvic pain, ovaric biopsies in cases of premature ovarian failure, fulguration of endometriotic implants, myomectomy, conservative management of an hemorrhagic corpus luteum, linear salpingostomy and total salpingectomy in ectopic pregnancy. The average operating time was 45 minutes, and the postoperative stay 28 hours. The only complication was active tubal bleeding in an ectopic pregnancy initially approached through linear salpingostomy, that required laparotomy. We describe the utilized technique, discussing the most frequent indications, and also, the basic elements necessary for performing laparoscopy surgery.
