The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy has become precise and reliable. Consequently, the management of ectopic pregnancy has progressed to the point where the physician is often able to preserve fertility. Therefore, conservative surgery is indicated if the patient desires future fertility and conditions are appropriate. The combination of ultrasound, beta-hCG pregnancy testing, and laparoscopy has led to a rising incidence of diagnosed ectopic pregnancy prior to rupture. This has greatly facilitated the use of the conservative approach to the management of tubal pregnancy. Although ectopic pregnancy can be diagnosed early and managed conservatively, it is, and will remain a potentially life-threatening disease and must be approached as such. Table 3 summarizes our proposed surgical management of tubal pregnancy. Table 4 summarizes the results of conservative surgery for tubal pregnancy.
