Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es für die endoskopischen Untersuchungen in der Gynäkologie?

Summary

Laparoscopy in gynecological diagnosis is an essential procedure which is simple in technique and almost without any risk. The examiner very often has a much better view at the genital organs than the surgeon performing a laparotomy. Three classical indications: the diagnosis of sterility, the differential diagnosis of ectopic pregnancies and uncertain adnexitis are critically evaluated. The technique, the complications and contraindication as well as the surgical procedures with the laparoscope are discussed. In the author's opinion the sterilization of the Fallopian tube represents the most important surgical intervention performed with the laparoscope.
