Material and methods. To assess the psychological reaction to the stress connected to the laparoscopic intervention Spilberg - Hanyn scale have been used. Comparative analysis was used in two groups of patients with fallopian tube rupture (as a result of tubal gestation). In the Ist group there were 15 patients who had undergone laparoscopic surgery. In the IInd group there were 15 patients who had undergone laparotomy. In both groups average age of patients was 28 3,1 and 30 2,3 respectively. We estimated correlation between degree of anxiety and risk appraisal for surgical treatment of patients with ectopic pregnancy in both groups.
