Patient's question:
I wanted to ask my husband for a child a while ago, but accidentally found out it was an ectopic pregnancy. This really worried me. What should I do? It's said there's a minimally invasive surgery for ectopic pregnancy, but does anyone know how the minimally invasive surgery for ectopic pregnancy is done? Will it leave scars?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy, as an abnormal condition, generally requires early termination of early pregnancy after confirmation. In cases of ectopic pregnancy, minimally invasive surgical treatment can be considered. Minimally invasive surgery is typically performed through laparoscopic surgery, which involves making three holes in the abdomen: one at the navel and one on each side of the lower abdomen. A laparoscope is inserted through the navel, and additional holes are made on both sides of the lower abdomen to facilitate operation. The surgery is conducted with the help of an external imaging system. After the surgery, most patients recover relatively quickly, as the incisions are small and the scars are generally not noticeable.
