MOJENA MEDINA, Daylén Julia; MOJENA MOJENA, Oreste e RIGAUT DIAZ, María Caridad. Emergency laparoscopy in the adolescent. A report of three cases. Rev haban cienc méd [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.6 Epub 10-Jan-2021. ISSN 1729-519X.
Introduction:
The importance of minimal access surgery in pediatric emergencies at any age has been demonstrated, being the current diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
Objective:
To highlight the utility of laparoscopy for emergency surgery in adolescents.
Case presentation:
Three female adolescents between 14 and 18 years of age underwent laparoscopic surgery for acute abdomen. The main findings were: Patient 1: Hemoperitoneum due to corpus luteum of the left ovary, treated by minimal access surgery. Patient 2: Acute uncomplicated appendicitis and simple uncomplicated left ovary cyst, treated by minimal access surgery and assisted appendectomy. Patient 3: Torsion of the paraovarian cyst of the right fallopian tube, treated by conventional minilaparotomy.
Conclusions:
Emergency laparoscopy in these adolescents provided the pediatric surgeon an accurate diagnosis with intraoperative gynecological findings and varied surgical treatment through minimally invasive surgery, with multiple advantages for patients.
