Abstract:

This article reviews historical developments in the recognition and management of abdominal and ectopic pregnancy since these entities were first recognized centuries ago. Contributions of the early anatomists who studied the female reproductive system and the courage of early surgeons who dared invade the abdomen cleared the path for the extraordinary success of today's obstetricians and gynecologists in the treatment of conditions formerly fatal to both mother and fetus.
