Abstract
Medical versus surgical treatment of ectopic pregnancy
Highlights
Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the implantation of the fertilized egg occurs elsewhere than in the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tubes. 95% of ectopic pregnancies are implanted in various segments of the fallopian tube: 70% ampullary, 12% isthmic, 11% fimbria, 2-3% interstitial, 2% cornice
Most 87% of the patients were treated with methotrexate and the remaining 12% required surgery
Patients treated with methotrexate were completely healed, and 60% of them got pregnant in the same uterine tube where the ectopic pregnancy occurred

The remaining 5% of non-tubular tasks are implanted in: ovary, peritoneal cavity, cervix, scarring following cesarean surgery.
