title: Laparoscopic management of ovarian ectopic pregnancy.
abstract: Ovarian ectopic pregnancy is a rare entity. Traditional therapy has been laparotomy with oophorectomy and, more recently, with ovarian wedge resection. We report the first case that was diagnosed and treated laparoscopically and retrieved intact. Laparoscopic treatment of ovarian ectopic gestations appears to be a safe and conservative approach in selected patients.
