Objective: To present two cases of interstitial pregnancy treated successfully by use of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS).
Design: Case series.
Setting: Department of obstetrics and gynecology at a tertiary health care facility.
Patient(s): Two women with interstitial pregnancy requiring surgical treatment.
Intervention(s): Laparoscopy by use of LESS with the single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) system.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Feasibility of LESS with the SILS system.
Result(s): Two patients were treated successfully by use of LESS with the SILS system. After laparoscopic confirmation of the interstitial pregnancy, a cornual resection was performed with bipolar forceps and scissors for the first patient and with an automatic stapler for the second.
Conclusion(s): Laparoscopic treatment of interstitial pregnancy by use of LESS seems feasible. Larger series are necessary to confirm these findings.
