Medical treatment of ectopic pregnancy

Methotrexate is an alternative to surgical treatment of unruptured tubal pregnancy. Among 39 women with the diagnosis of tubal pregnancy there were ten (10) cases without rupture of salpinx. Nine (9) out of these treated with Methotrexate. In one (1) case there was rupture immediately after the termination of the treatment. There were no experiences of major side effects from the treatment with Methotrexate. The passage through the tubes was examined laparoscopically 3 months after the treatment. There was passage through all affected tubes.
