Abstract

Laparoscopic salpingotomies were performed in 56 ectopic (tuba) pregnancies. A laparoscopic dye test was done in 29 patients, desirous of childbearing, 4-6 months after primary surgery. All of operated tubes proved to be patent. After minimally invasive surgery the intrauterine pregnancy, delivery and recurrence rates were found to be 41.3%, 31.0% and 6.9% respectively. A perfect evidence of preserved tuba function was found in one patient who became pregnant after salpingotomy followed by previous contralateral salpingectomy.
