Abstract

Despite the fact that no mortality due to ectopic pregnancy (EP) has been registred in Croatia, EP is still life-threatening state, demanding hospital bed rest, monitoring and appropriate treatment. EP incidence is around 2%, and is increasing in past 30 years. With early diagnosis (by means of -hCG and transvaginal ultrasound), laparoscopic treatment is possible in early, unruptured state for majority of EP. Laparoscopic treatments are: salpingectomy, salpingotomy, milking and/or injection of pharmacological substances. Presented and discussed are methods, results and complications. Duration of procedure, hospital stay and working dissablity are significantly shorter than for laparotomy. Laparoscopy is golden and obligatory standard in diagnosis and treatment of EP as it achieves excellent results, is reliable, simple, fast and promotes intrauterine pregnancy.
