title: Uncommon indications for laparoscopy.
abstract: Laparoscopy was used as an ancillary method for infrequently occurring or unconventional indications in 140 patients. Diagnostic laparoscopy was done if other clinical, laboratory and biophysical methods were inconclusive or not conclusive in due time. Under some conditions operative laparoscopy or a combined vaginal and laparoscopic approach eliminated the need for laparotomy. No special equipment is required for such diagnostic and operative laparoscopy.
