Abstract :

Background Acute abdomen is not acute a disease in itself but a description of a complex of symptoms combined with severe abdominal pain developed within a time frame of less than 24 hours . In patients with acute abdominal pain, early laparoscopy is an accurate means of both making a definitive diagnosis and avoiding a delay in the diagnosis. Material and Methods: The study was performed in Department of General Surgery in our institute from April 2011 to June 2013. A pre-designed and pretested proforma was used to collect baseline data which was entered into MS Office- Excel 2007 and analysis was done in Epi info version 3.7.1. Results and conclusion The fact that laparoscopy has gained widespread acceptance in acute abdomen as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool is clearly underlined by the present study which shows a definitive diagnosis of 100% with diagnostic laparoscopy and a successful therapeutic intervention in 90% of the patients subjected to diagnostic laparoscopy.
