Abstract
Most complications occurred during operative laparoscopic procedures (rate 17.9/1000). Residents in training are required to learn diagnostic laparoscopy and sterilisation and this training programme results in a fall in the risk of the complications. However, operative laparoscopic procedures are still hazardous, especially laparoscopic hysterectomy. Women with a previous laparotomy are particularly at risk.
