Overview

Objective:
To present a case of conservative – Fallopian tube preserving – surgical therapy of tubal pregnancy.

Design:
Case report.

Setting:
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Strakonice Hospital.

Case description:
Due to the desire to preserve the Fallopian tube in a hemodynamically stable primigravida, we decided for laparoscopic salpingostomy using hysteroscopy for assisted removal of pregnancy tissue from the oviduct.

Conclusion:
In well-selected cases, this treatment is an effective method of choice and can be performed even under conditions of a smaller hospital performing a common spectrum of laparoscopic surgery.

Keywords:
tubal ectopic pregnancy, conservative treatment, salpingostomy, hysteroscopy
