title: [Laparoscopically treated extrauterine pregnancy].
abstract: During a period of 12 months 55 women were treated for 56 ectopic pregnancies. Forty of the 56 (71%) procedures were performed laparoscopically. The duration of operation was 74 minutes when a conservative procedure was used, and 83 minutes where a salpingectomy was performed. The median duration of a diagnostic laparoscopy followed by laparotomy in 12 women was 83 minutes. Four women (13%) had persistent trophoblast, which necessitated a second operation. Two patients had a second laparoscopy because of lower abdominal pain, but did not need further treatment. Median hospitalization time (including diagnosis and second procedures) for the laparoscopically treated women was three days (range one to 16 days).
