Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery

Safely Managing Ectopic Pregnancy While Preserving Reproductive Health

Ectopic pregnancy surgery is a medical procedure performed to remove a pregnancy that has implanted outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tubes. Early intervention is crucial to prevent complications and ensure the patient’s health and future fertility.

When Is Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery Necessary?

• The ectopic pregnancy has resulted in internal bleeding – A life-threatening situation.
• The pregnancy is developing within the fallopian tube – To prevent rupture and injury.
• The patient has severe abdominal pain, dizziness, or fainting – Suggesting complications.
• Medical treatment (methotrexate) is not feasible – Where the pregnancy is too advanced.

Types of Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery

Laparoscopic Surgery (Minimally Invasive Surgery)

• Salpingostomy – The fallopian tube is cut open, and the ectopic pregnancy is evacuated while the tube is left intact.
• Salpingectomy – The damaged fallopian tube is excised if it is severely damaged.
• Advantages – Shorter recovery time, less scarring, and less hospital stay.

Open Surgery (Laparotomy) – For Severe Cases

• Used if the ectopic pregnancy has resulted in heavy internal bleeding or rupture.
• A bigger cut in the abdomen is made to excise the pregnancy and repair internal damage.
• Generally takes a longer recovery time than laparoscopy.

What to Expect After Surgery

• Recovery Time – Laparoscopic surgeries permit faster recovery (1-2 weeks), whereas laparotomy can take 4-6 weeks.
• Follow-Up Monitoring – Blood work to test hCG levels and ensure complete evacuation of pregnancy tissue.
• Emotional & Physical Support – Instructions for recovery and future conception.
