Summary

Traditionally, salpingectomy has been the standard procedure for managing ectopic pregnancy. We would like to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic tubal preservation surgery in treating ectopic pregnancies (salpingostomy or salpingotomy) while preserving the fertility outcome of the patients, as well as to identify the factors predicting the presence of persistent ectopic pregnancy after the surgery.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

laparoscopic salpingotomy or salpingostomy

A 3-port technique (2 x 5-mm and 1 x 10-mm trocars) was implemented. A diluted solution of vasopressin (20IU in 100 mL saline solution) was initially injected into the mesosalpinx of the affected tube, followed by a linear incision which allowed the removal of the gestational tissue. In case of a ruptured tubal pregnancy, the ectopic mass was evacuated directly from the ruptured site using a combination of forceps and suction device. The tubal lumen was either closed with a single-layer of continuous absorbable suture (salpingotomy) or left to heal by secondary intention (salpingostomy).
