Objectives: To compare the laparoscopic approach with laparotomy in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancies in China. Method: A retrospective analysis involving 142 patients with ectopic pregnancies was done. Seventy-two of the 142 patients were treated laparoscopically. Results: In the laparoscopic group, the operating time and post-hospital stay were significantly shorter but the total cost was higher compared with the laparotomy group. Conclusion: Although the laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancies is a new approach and it is not widely practiced in China; it has more advantages than open surgery and it has been well accepted by the surgeons and patients. It is a safe and feasible approach, but the rate of laparoscopic approach for ectopic pregnancy is still low in China when compared with the developed countries.
