title: [Retrospective comparative study of the treatment of tubal pregnancy by pelviscopic surgery or prostaglandin injection].
abstract: The incidence of tubal pregnancy has been increasing in recent years. The improvement in diagnostic procedures leads to an early detection of tubal pregnancies. As a result, conservative treatment modalities are more feasible today. In this study, we compared the treatment of tubal pregnancy by means of locally applied prostaglandin with pelviscopic surgery. 75 patients with an early tubal pregnancy were included in each group. The comparison between the two groups showed, that prostaglandin treatment has a higher failure rate, than treatment by pelviscopic surgery. However, postoperative fertility indicated better results in the prostaglandin treated patients.
