This study presents 100 consecutive cases of total salpingectomy by laparoscopy for the treatment of ampullar ectopic pregnancy. A three-puncture technique was used, and the salpingectomy was done by thermocoagulation and transection of the isthmus, mesosalpinx, and tubo-ovarian ligament. Tubal extraction was accomplished by one of the suprapubic punctures with the use of a polyp forceps. No complications have been encountered during the operation. However, because of severe pelvic adhesions or a voluminous hematocele, laparotomy was used in two cases (2%). The only postoperative complication was a deep vein thrombosis in one of the patients. A second-look operation was performed in 36 cases, and good healing with no adhesion formation at or near the site of salpingectomy was found. This technique therefore appears to be simple, fast, and almost complication-free.
