Abstract
The potential advantages of laparoscopic management of ectopic pregnancy include lower morbidity, faster return to work, and less impact on reproductive health. This study aimed to investigate the current management of ectopic pregnancy in the United Kingdom. Thirty-five per cent of ectopic pregnancies are currently managed laparoscopically. Units that tended to operate laparoscopically were more likely to attempt to preserve the fallopian tube at surgery. Ninety per cent of units in the UK feel that they potentially could manage ectopic pregnancies laparoscopically but in practice only 60% managed any of the last three ectopic pregnancies by this technique.
