ABSTRACT
The diagnosis and management of ectopic pregnancy continue to be a challenge for the gynecologist. Infertility is a risk factor for the development of an ectopic pregnancy. Underlying tubal disease is the mitigating cause in most cases. The management of this clinical entity has changed dramatically over the years because of earlier diagnosis and the addition of medical treatment with methotrexate. This chapter provides an overview of the clinical problem and current management recommendations.
