As in laparotomy the laparoscopic treatment of ectopic (EP) can be either conservative or radical. After conservative laparoscopic treatment, the risk of failure is comparable to what has been observed after the same treatment by laparotomy and the post-EP fertility results are better than those observed after treatment by laparotomy. These results, associated with the advantages of endoscopy over laparotomy, enable us to say that the laparoscopic treatment is nowdays the best surgical treatment of EP. The post-EP fertility is determined by previous patient's history, whereas the characteristics of the EP do not affect or only slightly affect fertility. A multifactorial analysis enabled us to quantify the pejorative impact on fertility of each of the factors which significantly affect the fertility results. We thus propose a therapeutic scoring system of EP designed to choose the treatment which will better preserve the fertility of the patients who wish to become pregnant.
