Laparoscopy in Macaca mulatta: specialized equipment employed and initial observations.

Laparoscopy in rhesus monkeys and specialized equipment developed or adapted for this procedure are described. Repeated laparoscopy in the same animal throughout the menstrual cycle showed by morphological and hormonal criteria that this technique does not significantly influence follicular growth, ovulation, luteal function or cycle length. Observations of the side of ovulation and other follicle/corpus luteum relationships are also described.

Endometriosis causing acute small bowel obstruction: report of a case and review of the literature.

Endometriosis causing acute small bowel obstruction is a clinical complex which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intestinal obstruction. Theories as to etiology and pathogenesis are discussed. The best clue to preoperative diagnosis of the lesion is a careful history with regard to previous episodes of ileus having menstrual periodicity. The lesion itself usually causes obstruction by kinking or volvulus secondary to serosal adhesion formation, and more rarely by stenosis or intussusception. The treatment of total small bowel obstruction secondary to endometriosis is surgical, with resection of the involved bowel and end-to-end anastomosis.
