A new technique in the laparoscopic resection of cornual ectopic pregnancies: a case series

We present a series of four cases where intramyometrial carboprost injection was used successfully, prior to the laparoscopic resection of cornual ectopic pregnancies, to produce consistent and reproducible surgical benefits including prolonged myometrial contractions and subsequent reduced uterine blood flow. This results in a significant reduction in intraoperative blood loss as well as a clearer demarcation of the ectopic pregnancy and a technically easier resection.
