This exceedingly rare form of ectopic pregnancy accounts for about 1% of all ectopic pregnancies. When rupture occurs, it can result in a life-threatening situation for the patient, necessitating immediate medical intervention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case information<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, we report a 33-year-old female patient who presented with abdominal pain and was subsequently diagnosed with an early abdominal pregnancy. Laparoscopic intervention revealed gestational tissue and a rupture site located in the pouch of Douglas. The gestational tissue was successfully excised via laparoscopy, and the rupture site was sutured to achieve hemostasis. Postoperative histopathological analysis confirmed the presence of chorionic villi and trophoblast cells.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This case highlights the critical importance of precise diagnosis and laparoscopic intervention in the management of abdominal pregnancy. It is imperative for clinicians to exercise a prudent approach in the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal pregnancy, utilizing a comprehensive assessment that integrates medical history, clinical manifestations, and auxiliary diagnostic tests to enhance the detection and comprehension of this condition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2024.1515249","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,4]],"date-time":"2025-02-04T06:33:44Z","timestamp":1738650824000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case report: Successful laparoscopic management of early abdominal pregnancy"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Haixia","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Limin","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shengpeng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"263","DOI":"10.1007\/s00404-022-06570-9","article-title":"Abdominal pregnancy: a case report and review of 17 cases","volume":"307","author":"Chen","year":"2023","journal-title":"Arch Gynecol Obstet"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"358","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-017-1542-y","article-title":"Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"17","author":"Yang","year":"2017","journal-title":"BMC Pregnancy Childbirth"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"302","DOI":"10.1097\/MS9.0000000000000245","article-title":"Abdominal pregnancy: a case report","volume":"85","author":"Abdullah","year":"2023","journal-title":"Ann Med Surg"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"333","article-title":"Abdominal pregnancy in the United States: frequency and maternal mortality","volume":"69","author":"Atrash","year":"1987","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"WMC004510","article-title":"Live births resulting from advanced abdominal extrauterine pregnancy, a review of cases reported from 2008 to 2013","volume":"5","author":"Masukume","year":"2014","journal-title":"WebmedCentral Obstet.
