  5. Diagnosis • 1-clinical signs and symptoms. • 2- investigations which include: • *ultrasound :has fundemental role in the diagnosis • *serum HCG(doubling time). • *serum progesterone

  6. Management 1-surgical management: • It include the followings: • *salpingectomy; removal of fallopian tube. • *salpingotomy; opening of fallopian tube and removal of ectopic pregnancy . • *salpingostomy; opening of fallopian tube and removal of ectopic pregnancy and leaving the tube margin open

  7. Salpingectomy indicated in: • *severly damaged tube. • *ruptured ectopic pregnancy. • *recurrent ectopic pregnancy in the same tube. • *when the other tube is healthy.

  8. Salpingotomy or salpingostomy used in case: • *mildly damaged tube. • *intact ectopic pregnancy. • *the other tube is not healthy . • * the other tube has been removed previously.
