Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
50 patients with surgical acute abdomen were selected for this study. The pre- operative diagnosis was compared with laparoscopic diagnosis to evaluate accuracy of diagnostic laparoscopy. With the use of diagnostic laparoscopy a diagnosis could be reached in 49 (98%) cases. It confirmed the diagnosis in 35 (70%) patients.In 14 patients (28%) laparoscopy changed the diagnosis.Timepoint: The Laparoscopic/ post operative diagnosis was compared with pre- operative diagnosis after each procedure.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
In our series 28 (56%) laparoscopic appendectomy were performed. Therapeutic laparoscopy was done in 37 (74%) cases. Lap assisted procedure were done in 4 (8%) cases. 8 (16%) cases required conversion to open procedure. Hence, the conversion rate was 16%. The main causes for conversion were due to extensive adhesions, distended bowel.Timepoint: For feasibility of laparoscopy for management of acute abdomen—
