Introduction: Nonspecific acute abdominal pain (NSAP) is considered a serious problem in the surgical field. To assess this condition, many approaches have been used, such as observation and early laparoscopy. Methods: This prospective interventional study was conducted at the tertiary care hospital in the Department of General Surgery and the Department of Emergency at Suez Canal University Hospital on 50 patients who presented with NSAP; the outcomes of early laparoscopy versus clinical observation were compared. Results: The current study results revealed that the definitive diagnosis was achieved in 88% of cases in the laparoscopy group and 80% of cases in the conservative group. The laparoscopy could recognize a pathology in 22/25 cases. Therefore, our research presents a diagnostic yield of 88% which aligns with other studies that have shown comparable rates of high definitive diagnostic rates (between 86 and 100%). Conclusion: Diagnostic laparoscopy (DL) is a safe and very effective minimally invasive therapeutic and diagnostic method, as it is used to identify and treat acute abdominal diseases. It minimizes morbidity, permits treatment and diagnosis in the same facility in most cases, shortens hospital stays, and reduces investigative costs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
