Intra-amniotic methotrexate versus CO2 laser laparoscopic salpingotomy in the management of tubal ectopic pregnancy--a prospective randomized trial
Abstract
Tubal pregnancy can be safely and effectively managed by MTX or CO2 laparoscopic salpingotomy techniques. Methotrexate may be superior because of its simplicity, requiring only basic laparoscopic skills, whereas laparoscopic salpingotomy necessitates operative laparoscopic input.
