Molar pregnancy is a clinical problem not only because it produces an abnormal pregnancy which in most cases needs to be terminated but also because of its ability to have residual disease and, in severe cases, result in metastasis.

 Medical References: Ectopic and Molar Pregnancy
If these tests do not show whether or not there is an ectopic pregnancy, the doctor may need to view the abdominal organs directly with a thin, flexible viewing instrument called a laparoscope, which is inserted through a tiny incision in the abdomen while the woman is under general anesthesia.
When the pregnancy is diagnosed before the fallopian tube ruptures, the doctor usually makes a tiny incision in the fallopian tube and removes the embryo, saving the fallopian tube and improving the outlook for future fertility.
