Résumé
Broad ligament pregnancies are rare and are often misdiagnosed, leading to serious consequences. In our hospital, we have treated six broad ligament pregnancies since 2000. They were diagnosed and operated on promptly, and treatment was successful. Ultrasound can detect early ectopic pregnancies promptly and effectively, avoiding advanced ectopic pregnancies. Early broad ligament pregnancies should be operated on promptly, and laparoscopic therapy is preferable. During the operation, attention must be paid to avoid massive bleeding and protect the ureter, because the ectopic gestational sac is located near the uterine artery and the ureter.
