Laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy: surgical procedure

Principle of laparoscopic surgery: Use uterine distension medium to expand the uterine cavity, introduce a cold light source into the uterine cavity through a hysteroscope via a fiberoptic light guide and lens, directly observe the descending cervical canal, internal os of the uterus, endometrium and fallopian tube opening, and examine and diagnose the physiological and pathological conditions in the uterine cavity, and perform corresponding treatment at the same time.

process:

During laparoscopic surgery, the patient needs to be tilted with the head low and the hips high, with the position tilted 15 to 20 degrees. The abdomen and vulva and vagina are routinely disinfected, a urinary catheter and uterine manipulator are placed, artificial pneumoperitoneum is performed, a laparoscope is placed, and the fallopian tube is opened under the scope to remove the embryo, or the fallopian tube is removed.

The patient will be injected with anesthetics before the operation, and then the site of pregnancy will be confirmed under laparoscopy. If there is no rupture, the corpus luteum of pregnancy can be found, separated and removed, and bleeding can be stopped reliably. If it has ruptured or is close to rupture, a window suture technique will be used.
