Abstract

Laparotomy and carbon dioxide laparoscopy are relatively traumatic and high-risk operations for patients. They may have negative effects on pregnancy, especially in advanced pregnancy. Gasless laparoscopy was performed on torqued hematosalpinx in a woman in the thirteenth week of pregnancy. After salpingectomy, the pregnancy proceeded normally.
