Abstract

Minimal access surgery is increasingly becoming the preferred approach to surgical treatment. Experience in the last 15 to 20 years hasestablished the efficacy and indeed safety of laparoscopic surgery in general surgical and gynecologic practice.Laparoscopic treatment in acute gynecologic emergencies raises questions of safety and feasibility when compared to open laparotomy.The objective of this study was to review the literature on the use of laparoscopy in the treatment of gynecologic emergencies so as todetermine its role in current and future practice.The findings of this study indicate that laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic emergencies is feasible and safe. Further studies areneeded to establish the safety of laparoscopic surgery for nonobstetric emergencies in late pregnancy.
