[Celioscopic treatment of ectopic pregnancy. Results apropos of a series of 109 cases].
We report our experience concerning the laparoscopic treatment of ectopic pregnancy (EP). One-hundred and nine women with EP were treated in our department over a 4 year period, between February 1988 (date of our first laparoscopic surgery for EP) and December 1991. Twenty-two these women underwent laparotomy and the remaining 87 laparoscopic surgery alone. Four therapeutic failures were noted in women treated by laparoscopy. Our results are compared with those of other series and the indications, as well as the modalities of laparoscopic treatment are detailed. It is concluded that laparoscopic surgery of EP is a reliable method which must always be considered, except for a few rare indications.
