*Ahlam Hammadi Issa and Bushra Mohammed Saeed Jaber

Abstract

Laparoscopy is not an alternative to physical examination and classical noninvasive diagnostic methods in acute abdominal pain. However, it is an effective option in patients in whom these methods fail. With increasing experience, treatment may also be performed by laparoscopy in the majority of cases. The use of laparoscopy considerably contributed to diagnostic elucidation, especially in cases of undetermined chronic pelvic pain.

Keywords: Laparoscopy, gynecological diagnosis.
