[Abdominal laparoscopy, experience in 1,400 cases studied].

Laparoscopy is a simple and sure method of diagnosis for the gastroenterologist. Laparascopy does not oppose exploratory laparatomy and can often substitute it advantageously. In fact it causes less morbility and mortality, less discomfort to the patient, requires only local anesthesia, permits leaving the hospital within 4 hours, and when done by an experienced and able person provides data of great usefulness in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. A laparoscopy can confirm or refute various doubtful clinical diagnoses. It is hoped that the thecnic demonstrated and seen through the laparoscopy will lead to a greater use of this valuable diagnostic examination.

[Colonofibroscopy, diagnostic style and therapeutic application].

Endoscopic examination of the entire colon is now possible without complication with the fiberoptic colonoscope. Early cancers and polyps not detected by X-ray have been disclosed. Biopsy is posible under direct vision at any level of insertion. Patients with suspicious lesions by barium enema are spared surgery by definitive endoscopic diagnosis. Polyps, pedunculated or sessile, beyond the reach of the conventional rigid sigmoidoscope can be removed without complication. The instruments used in this study were the colonofiberoscopes model ACMI F0 9000 P [105 cm] and ACMI two channel 7 Fr, and 12 Fr [160 cm] in length, respectively.
