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%. At the analyzed period the following complications were disclosed, namely: interstitial lesion in 2 cases, hemorrhage from inferior epigastric artery in 1 and subcutaneous emphysema in 34 cases.

A group of 600 IUD users aged 26 to 35 were studied. 440 women were married; 434 were pluriparae and 166 nulliparae. 24 (5.5%) had undergone cesarean section, and 266 (44.3%) had had induced abortion. 23% of single women had opted for voluntary termination of pregnancy, while 72% had previous experience with IUDs or oral contraceptives. 273 (45.5%) relied on behavioral methods of contraception, 33 (5.5%) used the diaphragm, 279 (46.5%) used pills, 124 (20.6%) used condoms (50.6%) used ML-250 IUD, 144 (24%) used Progestasert, 87 (14.5%) used Gravigard, 42 (7%) used Minigravigard, 18 (3%) used Nova-T, 4 (0.6%) used Anticon, and 1 (0.1%) relied on No-Gravid. The IUD was removed prematurely in 119 cases, 339 were removed at the end of usefulness, dropout occurred in 51 cases, and expulsions in 14 cases. IUD failure was registered in 103 cases corresponding to 21.8% of the total. Bleeding caused 31 instances, 22 were due to dislocation, there were 15 intra -uterine pregnancies, 14 expulsions, 11 cases of pelvic pain, 4 cases of pelvic inflammatory disease, 3 cases of extrauterine pregnancy, and 3 other failures of IUDs. 31% of failures occurred in the 31-35 age group, and 40% of nulliparous women had IUD experience, but only 22.8% had a positive experience. 83.9% of those who used progesterone-containing pills had success with them, only 16.1% failed. Pluriparae over 30 used Progestasert most successfully. Nulliparous women did not represent the ideal candidates for IUD use, previous positive experience was an important element of success, while less important factors were age and abortion history.
