Laparoscopy may be helpful to detect intraoperatively concomitant asymptomatic and unknown pathologies. Our results demonstrated that the incidence of incidentalomas was not negligible (28.6%) in the pediatric population. Laparoscopy allows their early treatment in most cases, thereby preventing the need for reintervention or emergency operation in case of acute onset.
Mento et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
