Of 125 laparoscopies, carried out in the Clinic of Surgical Gynaecology in the years 1972 to 1974, 12 referred to girls aged from 15 to 18 years (9,6%). As a consequence of the mentioned diagnostic-therapeutic procedure 6 girls (50%) avoided laparotomy. Laparoscopy is an excellent technique to establish diagnosis in cases of ovarian tumours especially in the developmental age.
