[Laparoscopy in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in children].
Based upon an analysis of results of 1210 operations and 160 laparoscopies in children for "acute appendicitis" the authors make a conclusion that about 20% of children were subjected to unnecessary appendectomies. Laparoscopy allows to make the correct diagnosis in the absolute majority of children with obscure clinical picture of acute appendicitis and to choose a rational medical treatment.
