    Author: Catani M, De Milito R, Rattà G, Abati G, Chiaretti M, Rengo M.
    Journal: Ann Ital Chir; 1999; 70(2):265-8; discussion 268-9. PubMed ID: 10434461.
    Abstract:
    Authors report three cases of acute abdomen due a probable appendicitis and submit to laparoscopic procedure. In the first case acute abdomen was due to a bowel obstruction secondary to an ectopic pregnancy; in the second case acute appendicitis was associated with a rare congenital malformation (atresia of uterus); in third case acute abdomen was due to a rare case of torsion of accessory spleen in an adult. In all the cases laparoscopy demonstrated the elective procedure in urgency, permitting the diagnosis and the surgical treatment of acute abdomen with the post-operatory advantage of the technique.
