Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this communication is to report laparoscopic treatment of ruptured interstitial pregnancy. Laparoscopic surgical techniques included aspiration, desiccation of major vessels, and wedge excision of the myometrium. Histologic examination confirmed the location of the pregnancy in the myometrial wedge and documented the absence of products of conception in the right tube cornua. Most ectopic pregnancies, including ruptured interstitial pregnancy, can be managed laparoscopically by an experienced endoscopist. (J GYNECOL SURG 6:135, 1990)
