  • Title: Conservative surgical treatment of tubal pregnancy: factors affecting future fertility.
    Author: Badawy SZ, Taymour E, el Shaykh M, Dorwitt D, Gaudino S, Finnerty JF, Kruger PS.
    Journal: Int J Fertil; 1986; 31(3):187-92. PubMed ID: 2875956.
    Abstract:
    The results of conservative surgical treatment of tubal pregnancy (salpingotomy in 10 cases, partial salpingectomy and anastomosis in two cases) were compared with radical treatment in seven cases. The subsequent pregnancy rate was 55% and 71% for the conservative and radical groups, respectively. There were no recurrent tubal pregnancies in either group. Prior presence of pelvic adhesions did not have an effect on fertility in these patients. The rate of multiparity was significantly higher in patients who became pregnant after the surgery than those patients who did not become pregnant.
