What are the risks of a tubal pregnancy surgery that preserves the fallopian tube?

Patient's question:

Got pregnant and had a thorough check, it was an ectopic pregnancy. Due to the risks, we discussed a miscarriage. What are the risks of an ectopic pregnancy with preservation of the fallopian tube surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy is only suitable for cases where the fertilized egg has not yet ruptured. The main method of conservative treatment is to use medication to terminate the embryo and then expel it out of the body. The risk is relatively high, as there is a possibility of sudden rupture during the entire treatment process. Therefore, for those who have not been pregnant, the safest method is to undergo surgery at the hospital. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
