Non-surgical treatment of ectopic pregnancy in the sole remaining tube

We reported on three successive cases of intrauterine term pregnancyobtained in patients with an ectopic gestation in their solitaryremaining tube who were treated by three different non-surgicalconservative methods: parenteral methotrexate, local injectionof methotrexate combined with systemic administration, and expectantmanagement respectively. The opposite tube had been removedbecause of previous tubal ectopic pregnancy. The cases, whichwere at a high risk of repeated ectopic implantation, are unequivocalproof of intact function of a tube after conservative non-surgicalprocedures for ectopic pregnancy. Thus, our report adds furtherevidence favouring the feasibility, the safety and fertilitypotential of these procedures for selected unruptured tubalgestations.
