Conservative surgical management for ectopic pregnancy

ABSTRACT

A 27 year old para 1+1 female, with a history of a previous salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy, presented with lower abdominal pain and a period of amenorrhea of seven weeks. A diagnosis of unruptured right ampullary pregnancy was made by transvaginal ultrasound. Treatment was by linear salpingostomy with primary closure, resulting in a patent tube as demonstrated by hysterosalpingography. (AU)
