Tubal Pregnancy Treatment
How Will The Complete Care Surgical Center Handle Your Tubal Pregnancy Treatment?
Ectopic Pregnancy Procedures
Laparoscopy
A tubal, or ectopic, pregnancy is when the embryo implants itself outside the uterine cavity. Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure in which we examine the inside of the abdomen. A thin long tube is inserted into the abdominal wall through a small incision. Laparoscopy can be used for an ectopic pregnancy when either of the two surgical procedures are being made:
- Salpingostomy: This procedure involves removing the ectopic growth through a small incision cut in the fallopian tube. The cut can be left to close on its own or stitched closed.
- Salpingectomy: A segment of the fallopian tube is removed, leaving the healthy fallopian tube to be reconnected. This procedure is necessary when the fallopian tube is stretched by the pregnancy.
Tubal Preservation
If the ectopic pregnancy is causing heavy bleeding or the Fallopian tube has ruptured, emergency surgery may be necessary and is performed through an abdominal incision (laparotomy). In some cases, the Fallopian tube can be repaired. Our team of highly-skilled surgeons will do their best to preserve the Fallopian tubes for future pregnancies.
