Most ectopic pregnancies occur young age group subsequent fertility an important issue. Laparoscopic surgery has advantages over open results higher rates intrauterine a lower rate (Fernandez, 1998). There no consensus literature regarding conservative versus radical treatment tubal terms future reproductive performance (Hajenius, 2000). are randomised controlled trials sufficient power, meta-analysis studies shown different with investigators (Yao, 1997; Clausen, 1996). have (IUP) after salpingotomy (2-23% IUP rates) than salpingectomy. We carried out this study East Birmingham Hospitals (Teaching) NHS Trust, West Midlands UK, to contribute ongoing debate.
