ABSTRACT
Interstitial pregnancy is a rare but very dangerous event if it would be ruptured and it occurs in about 1% of ectopic pregnancy. With recent advances in laparoscopic surgery many reports have been described laparoscopic cornual resection for interstitial pregnancy or laparoscopic cornuostomy as a safe alternative to laparotomy. We report two cases of unruptured interstitial pregnancy treated by laparoscopic cornuostomy with suction and evacuation of conceptus. This might be a safer and less destructive method by minimal incision of cornual lesion and suction/evacuation of the ectopic conceptus without myometrial reconstruction.
