[Initial experiences with the operative treatment of tubal pregnancy by laparoscopy]

First experiences and results in 14 tubal pregnancies are reported operated on by laparoscopy. In 11 cases the tubes were removed. In 3 patients there was a conservative operation with preservation of the tubes. A laparotomy had to be done in one patient for a hemorrhage from the mesosalpinx. Duration of stay in the hospital lasts from 4 to 5 days. Second-look-laparoscopies of 9 patients whose fallopian tubes had been removed resulted in 7 normal findings. In two cases there were adhesions between omentum majus and uterus on that side operated on. Following expressions of the gestational sac in two patients there was one normal tube and in the other one slight peritubal adhesions. Two patients who were operated on conservatively had been delivered afterwards.
