title: [Decrease in HCG levels after conservative laparoscopic treatment of extra-uterine pregnancy].
abstract: Dropping hCG levels have been studied in 76 patients following laparoscopic treatment of ectopic pregnancy. The drop in hCG is the same as after conservative treatment using laparotomy. This study shows that early detection of treatment failure is possible from the third or fourth post-operative day onwards. The authors report a scheme for the post-operative follow-up after laparoscopic treatment for ectopic pregnancy relying on the hCG rate.
