Eight cases of abdominopelvic surgery including 7 conducted uniquely by laparoscopy point out certain questions concerning diagnosis and management with this technique. These 8 cases included 6 cysts of the ovary, 1 appendectomy and 1 myomectomy. The consequences related to the operation or the anaesthesia and the foetal consequences were evaluated retrospectively. In particular, laparoscopic surgery induces certain pathophysiological modifications which remain to be studied.
