Operative laparoscopy has supplanted laparotomy for most benign gynecological conditions, offering patients reduced hospital stays, less pain, fewer complications, and faster return to work with comparable reproductive outcomes.

Abstract

Operative laparoscopy has replaced the conventional approach by laparotomy to the treatment of most benign gynecological diseases (benign adnexal cysts, ectopic pregnancy, tubal infertility, polycystic ovarian disease, endometriosis, myomas), with advantages in terms of shorter hospital stay, less discomfort and complications for the patient, minor social costs due to the early resumption of normal working activities, and comparable results in terms of reproductive outcome.
