title: Laparoscopy in obstetrics and gynecological emergencies.
abstract: The Authors underline the importance of the laparoscopy in the Obstetrical and Gyneacological emergencies. For this purpose, 74 consecutive laparoscopies, performed as emergencies at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the University of Pavia, are considered and analyzed. The Authors stress that the celioscopy has allowed a precise diagnosis in all the cases examined, and, even thanks to percelioscopic surgery, has avoided some useless laparotomies. Even more, when it was necessary to perform a major surgical act, the right laparoscopic diagnosis has addressed the therapy in several cases to conservative surgery.
