These sequelae include: tubalfactor infertility, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, pelvic adhesivedisease, and tube-ovarian abscess (TOA).The clinical criteria of PIn are insensitive and non specific, andfalse-positive and false-negative diagnosis is common.Laparoscopic studies of women with a clinical diagnosis of acutepelvic inflammatory disease have established the inadequacy of diagnosisby the usual criteria of history and physical and laboratory examination.Laparoscopy should be recommended with the following advantages:Confirm the diagnosis, in cases with proven Pill ( true-positive)additional operative procedures can be performed, such as liberation ofadhesions, peritoneal lavage, drainage and lavage of the abscess.
