title: Laparoscopic treatment of interstitial pregnancy.
abstract: The conventional treatment of interstitial pregnancy has been cornual resection of hysterectomy by laparotomy. We have used a laparoscopic approach to treatment of interstitial pregnancy, consisting of cornual excision in four patients and salpingotomy incision via the myometrium in another. In all five cases, the procedure was associated with minimal bleeding and no complications.
