title: [Laparoscopy and salpingitis. For whom? When? How?].
abstract: The apparent decrease of the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in industrial countries comes from the increase of less symptomatic forms. Diagnosis requires more often non clinical diagnostic technics. Laparoscopy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and grading of PID but its indications should be on an accurate strategy.
