Ectopic pregnancy is an increasing health risk for women throughout the world. The modern diagnostic technology allows earlier detection of ectopic pregnancy. With early diagnosis there is a trend towards more conservative approach in the management.

A recent postal survey (1) has shown that less than 4% of hospitals in the UK are routinely using medical treatment for ectopic pregnancy. We report our experience in managing unruptured ectopic pregnancy with methotrexate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
