Haemorrhage associated with avulsion of liver capsule during laparoscopic salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy

摘要

Laparoscopic salpingectomy is the preferred treatment for ectopic pregnancy. Fitz Hugh Curtis syndrome (FHCS) is a well known extra hepatic complication of chlamydial infections leading to perihepatic adhesions. Pneumoperitoneum created during laparoscopy can cause avulsion of the adhesions between the liver and diaphragm and can cause liver capsule tear. We report a case of haemorrhage associated with liver capsule tear during laparoscopic salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy.
