Broad ligament pregnancy is a very rare life‐threatening form of ectopic pregnancy, in which implantation occurs within the peritoneal cavity. The advantages of a laparoscopic approach over a laparotomy in this setting include a reduced estimated blood loss, a shorter operating time, reduced analgesic requirements, shorter hospital stay, and convalescence.
