Abstract

Objective: To find out if laparoscopy has any diagnostic utility for individuals with non-specific, vague abdominal discomfort. Methodology: Laparoscopies for diagnosis were performed on patients who complained of vague, nonspecific stomach discomfort. SPSS version was used to gather and evaluate the data. Three months of patient follow-up occurred in the OPD. Results: There were 50 patients listed for the study where men outnumber women by a factor of 2. Individuals were between the ages of 20 and 60, having an average age of 36.0. Umbilical pain affected more than 50% of patients, followed by lower-body discomfort in the right (25%) and left (10%) quadrants. While some individuals had abdominal TB, 30% of the patients had appendicular pathology. About 13% of individuals experienced chronic and recurrent cholecystitis, and 11% had postoperative adhesions and bands. Wound infections made up 8% of the postoperative complications of the operation, whereas RTI made up 5%, 5 % of patients were diagnosed to have torsion of ovarian cyst, and 5 patients were diagnosed to have pelvic inflammatory disease. In 95% of the instances, a firm diagnosis was made.
