[Sactosalpinx after previous hysterectomy--removal using surgical laparoscopy].

Six consecutive patients with sactosalpinx after preceding hysterectomy were treated by laparoscopic surgery and the outcome was analysed. Irrespective of extensive intraabdominal adhesions the operation could be completed by laparoscopy and the sactosalpinx was successfully removed in all cases. No complications were observed. Operative laparoscopy may be an adequate procedure to remove a sactosalpinx after antecedent hysterectomy.
