Peritoneoscope

Peritoneoscopy is a method of imaging the abdominal cavity that is used to diagnose and treat various diseases. It is based on the use of a special instrument - a peritoneoscope, which allows doctors to see the patient's internal organs through the abdominal cavity.

The peritoneoscope consists of a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into the abdominal cavity through a small incision in the abdominal wall. The tube has a lens and a light that allows the doctor to see the internal organs.

This method is widely used in surgery, gynecology and urology. It allows doctors to accurately diagnose diseases such as cysts, tumors, kidney stones and other pathologies.

Peritoneoscopy can also be used to perform endoscopic operations, such as the removal of cysts, kidney stones, tumors and other neoplasms.

However, like any other method, peritoneoscopy has its limitations. For example, it may not be effective for deep abdominal injuries or in the presence of adhesions. In addition, the procedure can be painful for the patient and requires special training and experience of the doctor.

Overall, peritoneoscopy is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal diseases. It allows doctors to obtain more accurate information about the condition of the patient’s internal organs and perform the necessary operations.

Peritoneoscopy is an invasive surgical procedure based on examination of the abdominal cavity using a special device - a peritoneoscope. Introduced into practice by Professor Harvey Cushing (H. Cushing, 1879-1939) when performing an operation to remove the renal pelvis in case of ureteral obstruction.

With the help of peritoneoscopy, the depth of the damage, the nature of the transection are more accurately determined, the ways of dressing and other manipulations in the internal organs and tissues (for example, installation of drainage, etc.) are outlined. The peritoneoscopic method is of particular importance
