title: [Distribution of the incidence of various pelviscopic (laparoscopic) surgical procedures and their complication rates. A statistical analysis in West Germany 1983 up to and including 1985].
abstract: The 3rd German pelviscopy (laparoscopy) statistics includes in all 207,823 laparoscopies from 310 clinics and 41,644 laparoscopies from 121 private practises. This is a percentage of 39% from clinics and 59.3% from private practises. There appeared 429 serious complications in the clinics and in the practises 63, which is a complication rate of 1.97%. In 415 cases (1.66%), a laparoscopy was required. The most important of the complications was injury of the intestinal organs, when putting in the Veress-needle or the optical trocar, followed by injury of the main blood vessels, as well as hemorrhages of the salpinges on detached omental fragments. Where tubal sterilization is concerned, 87.7% of the clinics ans private practises used the bipolar HF technique; 32.4% used the endocoagulation according to Semm. In 8.3% of the cases, the monopolar high frequency method was applied. After sterilization in the clinics, 2.8% intra- and extrauterine pregnancies occurred, while in the private hospitals this percentage was 3.3%. The intra- or extrauterine pregnancies occurred mainly after sterilization by the bipolar HF technique or after clip-sterilization. 46.1% of the investigated clinics and 36.4% of private practises, intend to increase the indication of endoscopic operational methods.
