Abstract

Primary ovarian ectopic pregnancy occurs quite rarely. Primary ovarian ectopic pregnancies usually occur in young, highly fertile, multiparous women using IUD. Two cases, we presented were middle aged, infertility and did not use IUD. The treatment of choice for ovarian pregnancy is usually ovarian wedge resection or oophorectomy, also there is a place for medical treatment of carefully selected patients. In this report, we aimed to present the laparoscopic conservative treatment of spontaneous ovarian ectopic pregnancy in two patients who had primary infertility.
