Description
Summary:Microlaparoscopy is a development of endoscopic surgery which further reduces invasiveness of surgical procedures. The use of a diode laser in microlaparoscopy for the treatment of a patient with an intact ectopic pregnancy and endometriosis is described for the first time. As the diode laser has easy management and widely recognized precision, its use could be highly advantageous in such situations. The success achieved in this case contributes to the wider use of micro-endoscopic procedures.
