Abdominal pregnancies are 1.4% of all ectopic pregnancies. They are mostly complicated and usually managed by laparotomy, but laparoscopy is an alternative method which some surgeons perform instead of laparotomy, especially in early pregnancy. We reported a 29 year old woman with supra pubic pain and vaginal bleeding. After sonographic evaluations, ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed and the patient underwent laparoscopic surgery for termination of pregnancy. Laparoscopy is a successful alternative method of surgery for abdominal pregnancies in first trimester.
