Abstract
Four of our patients had classical Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome. Persistent right upper-quadrant pain prompted extensive medical evaluation; antibiotic therapy failed to relieve the symptoms. In each case, laparoscopy proved to be an ideal method for obtaining definitive diagnosis and therapy. Typical perihepatic violin-string adhesions were cauterized and divided under direct vision, with dramatic resolution of symptoms. (JAMA236:266-268, 1976)Keywords
