Surgical and medical management of tubal and non-tubal ectopic pregnancies.
This article highlights recent findings in the diagnosis and management of ectopic pregnancy. While the search for the ideal biochemical marker for ectopic pregnancy continues, new protocols have been described for the management of persistent ectopic pregnancy. The role of nuclear marker Ki-67 in trophoblastic proliferation and the only randomized trial to date involving systemic methotrexate and laparoscopic surgery are discussed. The management of cervical, interstitial and heterotopic pregnancies are reviewed.
