Abstract:
We present the first 10 cases of ectopic pregnancy surgically resolved by laparoscopy. Tubal expression and aspiration was performed in 2 cases, linear salpingostomy in 2, and total salpingectomy in 6 cases. The procedure was successfully done in 9 cases, with an excellent postoperative evolution. The intrahospital permanence was brief (43 hours in average), and rejoining habitual activities was rapidly achieved. The only complication was a case of salpingostomy that required laparotomy due to active bleeding.
