INTERVENTION(S): Laparoscopic surgery for complicated adnexal masses. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Technical feasibility and safety. RESULT(S): All of the patients had an uneventful recovery. Pregnancy was continued to term in nine patients (81.1%). Two patients (18.2%) had ongoing pregnancy at the time of writing. CONCLUSION(S): Operative laparoscopy for complicated adnexal masses performed during early pregnancy is safe and feasible.
