Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome. A laparoscopic approach
J. A. Reichert and R. F. Valle
Four of our patients had classical Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome. Persistent
right upper-gradrant pain prompted extensive medical evaluation; anibiotic
therapy fialed to relieve the symptoms. In each case, laparoscopy proved to
be an ideal method for obtaining definitive diagnosis and therapy. Typical
perihepatic violin-string adhesions were cauterized and divided under
direct vision with dramatic resolution of symptoms.
