Summary

In this procedure, the provider makes a hole or incision into the fallopian tube and or ovary to remove a small ectopic pregnancy from that location, or removes a fetus that is within the pelvic cavity or imbedded within the cornu of the uterus, or the points where the uterus and fallopian tubes meet, also known as the uterine horns. The provider performs this procedure using a laparoscope. The provider does not remove the fallopian tube or ovary.
