While serial serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels and transvaginal ultrasound are the mainstays of ectopic pregnancy diagnosis, recent publications revisit the utility of endometrial sampling in diagnosing pregnancy location, using manual vacuum aspiration instead of the criterion-standard dilation and curettage. Expectant management of ectopic pregnancies is the subject of ongoing research, and in the meantime, treatment remains medical or surgical (dependent on clinical parameters and patient preference); salpingostomy and salpingectomy provide equivalent subsequent pregnancy outcomes in women with contralateral fallopian tubes in place.
