With the use of diagnostic laparoscopy a diagnosis could be reached in 49 (98%) cases. It confirmed the diagnosis in 35 (70%) patients.In 14 patients (28%) laparoscopy changed the diagnosis.Timepoint: The Laparoscopic/ post operative diagnosis was compared with pre- operative diagnosis after each procedure.
