Abstract
Objectives:
Reproductive outcome after laparoscopy or laparotomy performed for treatment of ectopic pregnancy.
Methods:
Data of 104 women were collected by a questionnaire and from medical records.
Results:
No differences in pregnancy rate were found comparing the two different operative procedures. Women with a normal contralateral fallopian tube had a better pregnancy rate compared with those with a damaged contralateral tube.
Conclusions:
The crucial factor for future reproductive outcome after surgical treatment of ectopic pregnancy is the status of the contralateral tube.
