  • Title: Ectopic pregnancy. A review of the etiologic factors.
    Author: Corson SL, Batzer FR.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1986 Feb; 31(2):78-85. PubMed ID: 3514910.
    Abstract:
    Ectopic pregnancy was experienced by 103 women in our practice, for a total of 123 such pregnancies. These patients' histories were reviewed in an attempt to identify certain risk factors. The ectopic pregnancies were diagnosed prior to rupture in 73% of cases. Patients were followed for subsequent reproductive function. Among the 96 who were not sterilized during or after surgery for ectopic pregnancy, intrauterine pregnancy was achieved by 34, while 15 had at least one additional ectopic gestation. Risk factors were identified. Different surgical approaches to the affected tube influence future reproductive function and repeat ectopic gestation.
