Resumen
Introducción

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la utilidad del abordaje laparoscópico para establecer un diagnóstico y tratamiento correcto en mujeres jóvenes que se operan con dolor agudo en la fosa ilíaca derecha.

Pacientes y método

Operamos por laparoscopia a 167 mujeres de entre 12 y 49 años de edad que fueron vistas en urgencias de nuestro hospital con dolor agudo en la fosa ilíaca derecha. Las mujeres con sospecha de apendicitis aguda eran operadas por laparoscopia siempre que hubiera el material necesario y un cirujano con experiencia suficiente en esta técnica. No hubo otros criterios de exclusión. El período estudiado fue entre junio de 1991 y diciembre de 1997. Estudiamos los hallazgos operatorios, la tasa de conversión a laparotomía, las complicaciones, el tiempo operatorio y la estancia operatoria.

Resultados

Se confirmó una apendicitis aguda en 128 de las 167 pacientes (76,6%). De las 39 restantes (23,3%), 26 (66,6%) presentaban alguna patología ginecológica que justificaba los síntomas. En sólo 4 pacientes no encontramos ninguna patología abdominal causante del dolor abdominal. La tasa de conversión fue del 6%. Diez pacientes (6%) sufrieron complicaciones directamente relacionadas con la cirugía.

Conclusiones

La laparoscopia es un método con alta capacidad diagnóstica (97,6%) que permite diagnosticar y resolver la mayoría de los cuadros que causan dolor agudo en la fosa ilíaca derecha.

Introduction

The aim of this study was to analyze the utility of the laparoscopic approach in establishing a diagnosis and appropriate treatment in young women undergoing surgery for acute pain in the right iliac fossa.

Patients and method

Laparoscopic surgery was performed in 167 women aged between 12 and 49 years admitted to the emergency department of our hospital with acute pain in the right iliac fossa. Women with suspected acute appendicitis underwent laparoscopic surgery whenever the necessary equipment and a surgeon with sufficient experience in this technique were available. There were no other exclusion criteria. The study period was between June 1992 and December 1997. Operative findings, rate of conversion to laparotomy, complications, operating time and hospital stay were analyzed.

Results

Acute appendicitis was confirmed in 128 of the 167 patients (76.6%). Of the remaining 39 (23.3%), 26 (66.6%) had a gynecological disease causing the symptoms. In only four patients, no abdominal disease causing abdominal pain was found. The rate of conversion was 6%. Ten patients (6%) developed complications directly related to the intervention.

Conclusions

Laparoscopy has high diagnostic capacity (97.6%), enabling diagnosis and resolution of most conditions that provoke acute pain in the right iliac fossa.
