Abstract
In recent years, early detection of ectopic pregnancy has been remarkably improved using ultrasonography, assay of low titer hCG in urine and laparoscopy. We have actively attempted to perform laparoscopy to the patients suspected of ectopic pregnancy for the purpose of detecting as early as possible. We also have introduced YAG laser for hemostasis, adhesiotomy and photovapolization of endometriosis under laparoscopy. In this report, We could manage three ectopic pregnancies which were diagnosed by laparoscopy, radically with YAG laser. Indications for this new procedure will be as follows; 1) The patients who want no more child. 2) Unruptured ectopic tubal pregnancy in good condition. 3) The tumor mass of less than 3-4cm in diameter. This new technique have the advantage of incising easily tubal tissue in a bloodless condition under laparoscopy and reduced recovery period.
