Conservative management of interstitial pregnancy.
Earlier detection of ectopic pregnancies allows the patient and physician the option of conservative management. Conservative surgical management of ampullary ectopic pregnancies has been well described. Traditional management of interstitial or cornual gestation has been by salpingectomy with or without cornual resection or by hysterectomy. In this paper we present a case report of alternative, less radical surgical management and review the literature on conservative surgical and medical management of interstitial pregnancies.
