Laparoscopic treatment of ectopic pregnancy is gaining wide acceptance. We report a new simple laparoscopic technique involving grasping the tube with forceps and coagulating on both sides of the ectopic pregnancy site, leaving the fertilized ovum in situ. This method is suitable for multiparous women and women who request tubal sterilization. Sixteen patients (mean age 32.6 ± 4.4 years) were treated by using this method. The mean duration of hospitalization was 1.94 ± 1.12 days. No complications occurred.
A case of Cushing's syndrome in pregnancy due to adrenal adenoma is described. Despite the poor prognosis and the fact that treatment was delayed until after delivery, a normal term infant was born and maternal outcome was good.
