Abstract/OtherAbstract:
REASON FOR STUDY: To determine if there is a safe and effective treatment for cervical pregnancy. MAIN FINDINGS: There is no study presently which shows whether the medical vs surgical vs medical and surgical treatment combined for cervical pregnancy is more efficient. Continued studies are necessary to validate any treatment and confirm which would increase survival with fewer complications. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSION: There is no definitive treatment for cervical ectopic pregnancies. The risk and benefits of each treatment must be entertained before a decision is made on either medical or surgical treatment.
