Abstract:
Laparoscopic removal of ectopic gestations is becoming increasingly popular. We present a case in which an early, unruptured ampullary ectopic pregnancy was identified clinically, removed during laparoscopy, and subsequently confirmed by pathology. The patient later presented with pain and with rising titers of beta-hCG. Laparotomy demonstrated multiple pelvic implants of trophoblastic tissue.
