What are the surgeries for ectopic pregnancy? See the experts’ answers!

In the case of ectopic pregnancy, surgery is the most commonly used medical treatment. Depending on the patient's condition, the surgical method used is also different. The most common ones are laparoscopic surgery, salpingectomy and laparotomy, etc. The following will introduce you to professional knowledge in this area.

1. Laparoscopic surgery: Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery with the advantages of less trauma, quick postoperative recovery and fewer surgical complications. It is the main method for treating ectopic pregnancy in recent years. This method does not require laparotomy. After the operation, only a few small round scars are left on the patient's abdominal wall, which does not affect the appearance. Moreover, because it has less trauma and the patient's pelvic organs are not prone to adhesion after surgery, the patient's postoperative pregnancy rate is higher than that of those undergoing cesarean section. This is a surgical treatment method for ectopic pregnancy.

2. Laparotomy: After opening the patient's abdomen, the wall of the fallopian tube at the pregnancy site is incised, the embryo is taken out and then the wall of the fallopian tube is repaired, thereby achieving the purpose of removing the lesion and preserving the fallopian tube. This surgical treatment for ectopic pregnancy is definitely effective and can cure the disease in one go, but the patient may develop pelvic organ adhesions after the operation, which may affect future pregnancies.

3. The more common surgical treatments for ectopic pregnancy include the two mentioned above. They have their own unique advantages in treating ectopic pregnancy. However, we need to remind everyone that if surgery is used to treat ectopic pregnancy, then you must pay attention to the health care of ectopic pregnancy during and after the operation, so as to prevent the recurrence of the disease.

4. Gynecological disease experts point out that although there are many surgical treatments for ectopic pregnancy, this does not mean that every patient with ectopic pregnancy is suitable for surgical treatment. For the stubborn disease of ectopic pregnancy formed in the body, if you want to achieve the effect of curing the disease once and for all, you must start with the mechanism of ectopic pregnancy and treat the disease scientifically, rather than treating it blindly.
