Popis: The aim of the investigation was to study the role of diagnostic laparoscopy in treatment of patients with ovarian cancer. The analysis of 480 laparoscopic operations, which was carried out on 42 patients with benign tumors, 29 cases of suspected tumor malignization, 67 patients with non gynecological pathology with suspected ovarian neoplasia and 174 women with established ovarian cancer, made it possible to define indications to laparoscopic operations. Using this method the authors managed to solve differential-diagnostic difficulties in 81,7% cases. The results of the investigation revealed the advantages of the method as to patients with benign tumors. This method is recommended for ovarian tumor and early recurrence diagnostics and also for morphological verification of tumor development. But the role of laparoscopy in treatment of malignant ovarian cancer, especially its early forms, still has to be further investigated.
