Laparoscopic approach to interstitial pregnancy

Abstract

The laparoscopic approach toward cornual pregnancy was presented as well as its advantages over classic laparotomy. Other techniques of conservative treatments have been reviewed.

Mini-Cornual Excision: A Novel Stepwise Laparoscopic Technique for the Treatment of Cornual Pregnancy
