Abstract
The success of laparoscopy in making definite and reliable diagnosis of abdominal disorders over the past two decades has firmly established it in the armamentarium of a general surgeon to perform this procedure safely. To study the role of diagnostic laparoscopy in patients with chronic non specific abdominal pain where other clinical symptoms and investigations are not conclusive. Study conducted on 50 patients aged between 15-55 years at Department of general surgery Coimbatore medical college and hospital from June-July 2016-2017. Patients with chronic non-specific abdominal pain were admitted in the surgical unit and clinical examination and review of records and imaging done. Follow up were done at 10th day, 1 month and 3 months post laparoscopy. Patients in the age group 25-40 are commonly affected (62%). Fifty-four percent of the study group was with previous history of surgery. Twenty-two patients (44%) are found to have adhesions, Abdominal Tuberculosis was noticed in 7 patients (14%). All patients with adhesions (22 patient) undergone Laparoscopic adhesiolysis. Out of them positive outcome seen in 20 patients (90.9%) after 3 months follow up, relief of patients was noted in 39 patients (78%). Laparoscopy has an effective diagnostic role in evaluating patients with chronic abdominal pain in whom conventional methods of investigations have failed to elicit a certain cause.
