 | | In 1996, Clausen reported on a review of the past 40 years and concluded that only a small number of investigators have suggested indirectly that conservative tubal surgery increases the rate of subsequent intrauterine pregnancy, and the more recent studies may reflect an improvement in surgical technique. |
 | | Medical therapy of ectopic pregnancy is appealing over surgical options for a number of reasons, including eliminating morbidity from surgery and general anesthesia, potentially less tubal damage, and less cost and need for hospitalization. |
