Main Outcome Measure(s): Complete resolution of the ectopic pregnancy at the interstitial site of the amputated fallopian tube, and resumption of menstruation. Result(s): Other causes of internal bleeding were ruled out. Menstruation resumed 30 days after the procedure. Conclusion: An early interstitial pregnancy may be successfully managed with laparoscopic electrodessication.
