title: [Bilateral pneumothorax following laparoscopy].
abstract: A case of laparoscopy is presented with postoperative large subcutaneous emphysema and bilateral pneumothorax. As a result of careful control, conservative treatment, and consequent oxygen administration, this life-threatening phenomena disappeared within a short time. Preventive measures for complications of diagnostic laparoscopy are discussed and established to lower the anaesthetic risk of this widely practised procedure.
