"Milking"--a conservative surgical technique for a tubal gestation.
Milking technique was utilized in 13 patients with tubal pregnancies. Following this procedure there were we intrauterine pregnancies in nine women and 10 live births in eight women. No ectopic pregnancies recurred in this group. These results suggest that the milking procedure, whenever possible, may represent a valuable method for conservative surgical treatment of tubal gestation.
