Nonsurgical treatment of ectopic pregnancy
Abstract
Expectant management and medical treatment of ectopic pregnancy either systemically or locally are reviewed. Because of the risks of tubal rupture, this nonsurgical management should be done with utmost care. To date, surgical removal of an ectopic pregnancy remains the method of choice and this can be safely done by laparoscopy. Alternate treatments should be carefully evaluated in clinical trials.
