Ectopic pregnancy is a specific condition where the fertilized egg cell has implanted outside of the designated location: the uterine cavity. It can be implanted in several different locations such as the fallopian tubes (90% of all ectopic), the pelvic cavity, the cervical neck, the ovaries etc. It is commonly associated with the symptoms of vaginal bleeding and abdominal pains. Ectopic pregnancies are considered critical emergencies as they can cause fallopian tube rupture, leading to severe bleeding and maternal death.
In many cases, doctors will prescribe methotrexate for medical abortions to terminate the pregnancy. It is also common that a salpingectomy (removal of affected fallopian tube) is conducted on ectopic patients, which we here Antai Hospital is only necessary where the threat of tubal rupture is imminent, and potentially life threatening to the patient. In most cases the pregnancy is terminated and has very little chance of survival, look below for Antai’s endometrial transplant surgery for the preservation of ectopic pregnancies.

Prevention of future ectopic pregnancy
At Antai Hospital, not only can we prevent the removal of your ectopic-affect fallopian tube, but we can also still preserve the pregnancy using a highly specialized surgery known as the embryo transplant surgery, that uses 3D Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy to relocate the surviving embryo into the endometrium. This surgery is not only technical but also requires experience; and if done correctly can have very high success rates. Furthermore, for prevention of future ectopics pregnancies, at the same time during surgical management, our doctors will source the possible cause and provide treatment at the same time. Depending on which ectopic causing factor you have been diagnosed with, the relevant treatments must be administered alongside the surgical management of the ectopic. This is the way that we can prevent future recurrence and avoid wasting excessive funds and valuable time using IVF. Get in touch with us to find out more.
