Is it necessary to remove the fallopian tube for ectopic pregnancy?

If it is early stage, there is no need to remove the fallopian tube.

The most common treatments for ectopic pregnancy are medication and surgery. Doctors usually provide timely treatment for ectopic pregnancy to prevent harm to women. If discovered early, ectopic pregnancy can be treated with medication before the fallopian tube is damaged. Usually one or two doses of medication can terminate the pregnancy. Surgery can be avoided through medication, but there will be side effects, so blood tests should still be performed on a regular basis to ensure that the medication is effective. If the pregnancy is more than a few weeks old, surgery is safer than medication.

Compared with traditional abdominal surgery, "laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery" causes less trauma, with only two or three keyholes in the abdomen. Patients do not have to worry about ugly scars left by the surgery. In addition, incision infection and pelvic adhesions are reduced. It is safe, reliable, and has quick postoperative recovery, and is deeply favored by patients.
