Résumé / Abstract

The information on the limitations of laparoscopy (LP), particularly in the diagnosis of fibroadhesive form of tuberculous peritonitis (TP) is insufficient. Some reports suggested the risk and insufficient information obtained from LP in the diagnosis of fibroadhesive tuberculous peritonitis (FTP). The objectives of this study were to determine the usefulness and limitations of LP in the diagnosis of FTP and ascitic TP. The clinical and laparoscopic features of 64 patients with TP were analyzed. FTP was observed in 44 patients (68.8%) comprising 14 cases with small tubercles with thin fibrous adhesions in the peritoneum, 28 cases with large tubercles or confluent nodules with severe adhesions of intestinal loops omentum, and abdominal walls, and abdominal walls, and 2 cases with caseous material in the abdominal cavity with multiple peritoneal adhesions
