Clinical Trial Summary

Although ectopic pregnancy was considered a leading cause of first-trimester maternal mortalities, current technological improvements allowed early diagnosis and opened a door for applying less invasive approaches. A tubal pregnancy could be managed either expectantly, medically, or surgically. The expectant management of ectopic pregnancy relies on the fact that a considerable proportion of ectopic gestations terminate by spontaneous tubal abortion. This approach is usually kept for stable cases with a small gestational sac and low beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-HCG) serum levels. For hemodynamically unstable patients, higher levels of beta-HCG, and larger gestational sacs, surgery is often considered as the treatment of choice (16). Considering this background, the study aims to analyze the subsequent natural reproductive outcomes of patients that had a previous tubal ectopic pregnancy and were managed either expectantly or surgically. Moreover, it amis to determine the factors that could influence the fertility potential of these patients in each treatment group.
