Local prostaglandin F2 alpha injection for termination of ectopic pregnancy

B Lindblom et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

In nine women with unruptured ectopic pregnancy, prostaglandin F2 alpha was injected under laparoscopic control into the affected oviduct and in eight patients also into the ovary containing the corpus luteum. Termination of the pregnancy was achieved in all cases (in one at the second attempt), without complications. Fertility after this procedure needs to be compared with that after conventional surgery.
