title: [Urgent laparoscopic surgeries in children of the first year of life].
abstract: One hundred and ninety-two urgent laparoscopic operations in 179 infants (including 31 newborn infants) were performed. Indications for surgery were intestinal obstruction (108 children), acute diseases of abdominal organs (61), and gynecological diseases (10). The rate of conversion in 3 groups was 10.9, 4.6% and 0, respectively. In all the cases conversion was performed due to technical difficulties, there were no intrasurgical complications, diagnostic value of the method reached 100%. Combined laparoscopic surgeries were performed in 25.1% cases. Intestinal invagination was the most frequent cause of laparoscopy. Comparative analysis of open (28) and laparoscopic (85) desinvagination demonstrated the advantages of the latter one both during and after surgery. Laparoscopy is the useful method for diagnosis and treatment of acute abdominal disease requiring urgent surgery in infants.
