A total of 10 young women with suspected acute appendicitis were studied. We investigated the value of laparoscopy in the diagnostic evaluation for possible appendicitis in women of reproductive age. At laparoscopy, appendicitis was diagnosed in seven patients (acute-6, subacute-1). Three women had a normal appendix and a pelvic inflammatory disease, a ruptured ovarian cyst and an ovarian cyst with torsion. Laparoscopic appendectomy was performed in 7 cases; a conversion to open operation were because of torsion of ovarian cyst; a laparoscopic cystectomy was necessary. There were no intraoperative and postoperative complications (no wound infections). Reintroduction of normal diet and discharge from hospital occurred earlier after laparoscopic than open surgery. It is concluded that diagnostic laparoscopy permits earlier definitive diagnosis and prompt institution of appropriate therapy for disease of the female reproductive tract that simulates appendicitis; laparoscopic appendectomy is practical and may have advantages over conventional operation (reduction of wound infections and earlier return to normal activities).
