| Introduction The introduction of laparoscopic surgery and recent in laparoscopy have been increasingly recognized as a procedure that offers precise visual assessment of intra-abdominal condition for diagnosis and prompt intervention. Laparoscopy has a significant diagnostic and and therapeutic role in patient with abdominal pain. In case of diagnostic uncertainty, laparoscopy may help to avoid unnecessary laparotomies, provide accurate diagnosis and helps to plan surgical treatment. The main function of laparoscopic evaluation is to detect the presence or absence of intra-abdominal organic lesion. Acute lower abdominal pain causes can be grouped under a spectrum of surgical gynecological, renal and other conditions ranging from trivial to life threatening therefore requiring early and accurate surgical intervention to avoid further health risks and death. Globally it is reported that abdominal pain is the most common complaint in people who visit the emergence department for intervention accounting for about 7-10% of all Emergence department visit. Different strategies have been used to asses these patients including careful history taking, proper physical examination, imaging methods and Laparoscopy. The main goal of diagnostic and interventional laparoscopy is to fasten treatment time, improve treatment outcomes, avoid the possibility of unnecessary laparotomies and decreasing post-operative morbidity. | ||
