Laparoscopic treatment of acute adnexitis; one step forward.
Supplementary laparoscopic method accompanying antibiotic treatment in 8 patients with acute PID (ALT Group) was compared to the group of 28 patients with acute PID, diagnosed laparoscopically and treated medically (MLT Group). Rapid subjective improvement of general status in which main symptoms of acute PID disappeared, the absence of early PID complications (p less than 0.01), shorter hospital treatment (p less than 0.05) and the absence of recurrence (p less than 0.01) in the first 6 months are the major advantages of the supplementary laparoscopic treatment of acute adnexitis found in preliminary results of the present study. It seems that supplementary laparoscopic procedures might be more efficient than medical treatment alone.
