Laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy management

Laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy management

An ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the principle cavity of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy frequently happens in a fallopian tube, which carries eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. This kind of ectopic pregnancy is known as a tubal pregnancy. Sometimes, an ectopic pregnancy happens in different areas of the body, for example, the ovary, abdominal cavity or the lower some portion of the uterus (cervix), which interfaces with the vagina.

An ectopic pregnancy can’t continue regularly. The fertilized egg can’t survive, and the developing tissue may cause life-threatening bleeding, whenever left untreated.

An ectopic pregnancy can be treated with laparoscopic medical procedure. The ectopic pregnancy is removed and the tube is either repaired (salpingostomy) or tube is evacuated (salpingectomy). Which method you have depends upon the amount of draining and harm and whether the tube has cracked.
