Abstract
Background: Laparoscopy is an essential part of our armamentarium in certain conditions and has been recently begun to be used on acute abdominal peritonitis effectively and frequently by surgeons. But, there is still a debate on laparoscopic management of surgical emergencies. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the safety and efficiency of laparoscopy and its role in patients with acute abdominal emergencies retrospectively.
