Core Tip	Laparoscopic procedures have become widely accepted as a primary means of diagnosing and treating intra-abdominal infections (IAIs). The diagnostic accuracy of laparoscopy enables surgeons to better identify the causative pathology of acute abdominal pain, and related procedures can be employed to effectively treat a variety of IAIs. Depending on the patient’s symptoms, pathological severity, and the attending surgeon’s personal experience, laparoscopy may be recommended for the treatment of many IAIs.
