Abstract
Diagnostic laparoscopy reduces the number of negative laparotomies in acute abdomen and prevents severe peritonitis which may occur as a result of delay in diagnosis. The study aim was to assess the Diagnostic laparoscopy in right iliac fossa pain. Total 80 Patients in the age group of 10‐70 years and both male and female with acute or chronic right iliac fossa pain and suspected appendicitis were subjected to diagnostic laparoscopy, after proper consent and proper preoperative work‐up. All lesions which were diagnosed were managed as per the standard protocol. For all patients, Post‐operative pain, Reintroduction of diet, hospital stay, pre‐operative and post‐operative complications were properly evaluated. All patients were followed up for up to 3 months. Eighty patients underwent diagnostic laparoscopy. Thirty seven patients were male and 43 patients were female. Most of the patients were in age group 20‐40 years. Conversion to laparotomy was done in two cases. Diagnostic laparoscopy followed by appendisectomy should be the standard approach for appendicitis, irrespective of its anatomical and pathological types.
