A case deals with 33 years old primipara in the last stage of the first trimenom of pregnancy. To dispel the doubts connected with development of pregnancy and ultrasound assessments the explorative laparotomy was undertaken. The cervical pregnancy was stated. The curettage and tamponing of the cervical canal failed. The procedure was completed with hysterectomy without adnexa. The advantage of early laparotomy consisted in getting a clear view of the situation and giving the maximum of safety to the patient when the attempts to save the uterus were being carried out. The early laparotomy made it possible to take some unique photographs of the uterus "in situ" with cervical pregnancy.
