title: [Acute disease of the pelvis: differentiation between gynecologic and surgical cause].
abstract: An acute disorder of the lower abdomen requires early clarification, whether or not it is of gynaecological or surgical origin. With non-gynaecological affections, beside diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, perforations, bowel obstructions, yersiniosis, vascular diseases (acute embolism, thrombosis or dissection), urological disorders or hernias, acute appendicitis has firstly to be considered. The systematic use of the different diagnostic instruments is discussed.
