The laparoscopic management of tubal pregnancies has become a standard form of treatment. We present, for the first time, a successful laparoscopic approach in the management of early abdominal pregnancy. Although it is difficult to reach conclusions from such limited published experience, it nevertheless appears that early abdominal pregnancies can be treated via operative laparoscopy. The possible advantages of such a therapeutic approach include lower morbidity and mortality, and a better fertility prognosis.

Key words: abdominal pregnancy/appendix/laparoscopy/ovulation induction
