[Idiopathic segmental infarction of the great omentum. Value of celioscopy].

Segmental infarction of the great omentum is a possible aetiology of acute abdominal pain. The diagnosis was difficult before operation and, generally the patient was operated upon with the diagnosis of appendicitis, or less often by laparotomy. The laparoscopy appears to be nowadays the ideal way of diagnosis, as this was the case in two of our patients. The treatment is also possible by laparoscopy (one of our patients). Generally speaking the laparoscopy should be of great help in the diagnosis of some acute abdominal pain, and could reduce the number of the so called non specific abdominal pain.

[Cholecystectomy by laparoscopic approach. A trial for evaluating the biliary risk].

Owing to the wide diffusion of the coelioscopic cholecystectomy some problems are worth studying. From a technical standpoint they are important changes: use of monopolar current for coagulation, suppression of intra-operative cholangiography, absence of suture of the gallbladder bed, systematic retrograde dissection. Theoritically these modifications are important enough to increase the biliary risk. As a matter of fact, comparison with traditional cholecystectomy data as well as results of preliminary studies on coelioscopic cholecystectomy does not confirm such a risk. This operation appears safe, at least if indications are limited to non complicated cholelithiasis.
