Conservative management of extrauterine pregnancy.
An abdominal pregnancy in a 28-year-old nulliparous woman with a fertility problem was treated conservatively. The clinical antenatal course was unremarkable. A healthy 2000-g infant was delivered at term by laparotomy. The placenta was removed at the same time. Three years later the patient had a ruptured tubal pregnancy which was treated by salpingectomy. The literature on extrauterine pregnancy is reviewed briefly.
