ABSTRACT
Laparoscopy has gained widespread acceptance in the setting of acute abdominal pain. We report the case of a patient with acute abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant that proved to be due to a fish bone perforation of the ileum at laparoscopy. The fish bone was retrieved and the perforation closed laparoscopically. Laparoscopy is a powerful diagnostic and therapeutic tool and should be used routinely in patients with acute abdominal affections.
