Abstract EN
Aim.
To find out the changing trends in indications for use of laparoscopy for diagnostic or operative procedures in gynaecology.
Methods.
This was a clinical audit of 417 women who underwent laparoscopic procedures over a period of 8 years from January 2005 to December 2012 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at a tertiary care centre in Delhi.
Results.
A total of 417 diagnostic and operative laparoscopic procedures were performed during the period from January 2005 to December 2012.
Out of 417 women, 13 women were excluded from the study due to inadequate data.
208 (51.4%) women had only diagnostic laparoscopy whereas 196 (48.6%) patients had operative laparoscopy after the initial diagnostic procedure.
Change in trend of diagnostic versus operative procedures was observed from 2005 to 2012.
There was increase in operative procedures from 10 (37.03%) women in 2005 as compared to 51 (73.91%) in 2012.
The main indication for laparoscopy was infertility throughout the study period (61.38%), followed by chronic pelvic pain (CPP) (11.38%) and abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) (9.4%).
Conclusion.
Over the years, there has been a rise in the rate of operative laparoscopy.
Though the indications for laparoscopy have remained almost similar during the years, laparoscopy for diagnosis and treatment of CPP and AUB has now increased.
