The role of laparoscopy in the management of ectopic pregnancy

Medical management of ectopic pregnancy: a 10-year case series

“…Nearly 75% of women experience abdominal pain during treatment and occasionally will also suffer from conjunctivitis, stomatitis, gastrointestinal upset, photosensitivity, impaired liver function and bone marrow depression (Lipscomb et al, 1998;. Furthermore, up to 7% of women may experience tubal rupture during follow-up (Yao & Tulandi, 1997;Sowter & Frappell, 2002).…”

Acute postpartum uterine inversion with haemorrhagic shock: laparoscopic reduction: a new method of management?

“…One needs to consider the possible adverse effects of a pneumoperitoneum‐induced intra‐abdominal hypertension in a haemodynamically unstable woman. Published reports suggest that laparoscopy is the preferred method of treatment of ectopic pregnancies even in the presence of massive haemoperitoneum 8–10 . Appropriate preoperative and intraoperative measures to achieve haemodynamic stability prior to either open or laparoscopic surgery is mandatory.…”

Modern Management of Cornual Ectopic Pregnancy

“…Patients suitable for medical management should have minimal or no symptoms, be haemodynamically stable (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, 2004) , and with β hCG < 3000 IU. (Yao M& Tulandi T, 1997;Sowter M& Frappell J, 2002;Kelly H et al, 2006;Teal SB, 2006). It is more successful if no fetal heart beats (Yao M& Tulandi T, 1997;Sowter M& Frappell J, 2002) Barnhart KT et al, 2003).…”

Following the injection of Methotrexate, follow-up β hCG should be done on day 4 and day 7 after the treatment aiming check to for the decreasing levels.…”
