TLDR
Clinical diagnosis of ectopic pregnancies that now can be diagnosed earlier and treated effectively by laparoscopic surgery are identified and obstetricians and gynecologists should be better able to diagnose ectopic pregnancy in its early stages to provide safe treatment.
Abstract
BackgroundImplantation of the zygote outside the uterine cavity occurs in 2% of all pregnancies. The product of conception can be removed safely by laparoscopic surgery and be submitted for histological examination. The rate of ectopic pregnancies has increased from 0.5% in 1970 to 2% today.

Risk of ectopic pregnancy is linked to endometrial thickness in a retrospective cohort study of 8120 assisted reproduction technology cycles

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that increased ECT is a marker for increased fundus-to-cervix uterine peristalsis, explaining both the increased placenta praevia risk and the lower EP risk, after adjusting for confounders.

Comparison of the Fertility Outcome of Salpingotomy and Salpingectomy in Women with Tubal Pregnancy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

TL;DR: It is believed that for patients with a healthy contralateral tube operated for tubal pregnancy, the subsequent fertility after salpingectomy and salpingotomy are similar in the long term.

Sites of ectopic pregnancy: a 10 year population-based study of 1800 cases

TL;DR: It is shown that current IUD use 'protects' against interstitial pregnancies, which are the most difficult to manage, and shows that subsequent fertility tends to be higher in women with distal EP.

Diagnosis and management of ectopic pregnancy.

TL;DR: Assessment of patients with nonruptured ectopic pregnancy may include expectant management, medical management with methotrexate, or surgery, which is appropriate only when beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin levels are low and declining.

Conservative medical and surgical management of interstitial ectopic pregnancy

TL;DR: Cornual resection or hysterectomy with a laparotomy should no longer be the first line of treatment for a hemodynamically stable patient with an interstitial pregnancy and in selected cases, methotrexate and laparoscopy can be used successfully in treating early interstitialregnancy.
