title: [Laparoscopy in diagnosis and treatment of acute abdominal diseases in children].
abstract: 2765 children with abdominal pains were observed in the clinic of pediatric surgery from 1995 to 1999. During the observation period the abdominal pains persisted in 85 children. As it was not possible to resect the acute abdominal diseases, these children underwent diagnostic laparoscopy. Destructive changes in the appendix were revealed in 12 patients, 73 patients have avoided unnecessary laparotomy and appendectomy. It is concluded that diagnostic potential of laparoscopy is not inferior to diagnostic laparotomy. Moreover laparoscopy has advantage as a method of final diagnosis.
