[Value of laparoscopy in suspected appendicitis].
By laparoscopy the rate of negative appendectomies was reduced to 3.4%. Decision-making regarding open or laparoscopic appendectomy and selection of suitable cases has improved the results in operating time and complication rate. In patients with non-typical clinical signs of suspected appendicitis the therapeutic decision was influenced in 30% or 6%, respectively.
