The aim of the paper was the analysis of 1450 laparoscopic procedures performed in the Clinic of Gynecology--IOG PMA in Szczecin in the years from 1974 to 1992. The above number include 320 laparoscopic operations. In the analyzed three five-year periods, the number of laparoscopies increased twofold, while in the years 1989-1992 it constituted 26.8% of all the operative procedures. Indication for laparoscopy in 74.6% of cases was sterility, in 13.38% pelvic pain of undefined etiology, in 7.7% ectopic pregnancy, 1.8% oncologic indications, in 0.5% internal ones, in 0.3% sterilization and others in 1.6%. Among operative laparoscopies electrocoagulation of endometriosis was carried out in 46.6% of cases, resection of intraperitoneal adhesions in 27.5%, in the region of abdominal orifices of oviducts in 7.5%, ectopic pregnancy operations in 7.2%, excision of ovarian cysts in 6.6% as well as extirpation of myomas in 4.7%.

A 49-year-old female visited our hospital with a complaint of pelvic pain. She was under treatment for diabetes mellitus and dilated cardiomyopathy. Radiography revealed a radiolucent area in the bladder. We suspected vesicorectal fistula. Computed tomography showed gas within the bladder wall and the lumen. Cystoscopy revealed diffuse emphysema in the bladder wall without fistula. These findings were consistent with a diagnosis of emphysematous cystitis. The urine culture yielded Escherichia coli. After urinary drainage and antibiotic therapy, she was cured of emphysematous cystitis.
