The primary surgical procedures for an ectopic pregnancy are salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tube) or salpingostomy (removal of the pregnancy while leaving the tube intact). These are usually performed via laparoscopy (keyhole surgery), though open surgery (laparotomy) may be required in emergencies. Key Surgical Options: Salpingectomy: Removal of the affected fallopian tube, often used if the tube is ruptured or severely damaged. Salpingostomy (or Salpingotomy): A small incision is made in the tube to remove the pregnancy, aiming to preserve the tube for future fertility. Laparotomy: An open surgical procedure used for emergency cases involving significant, uncontrolled bleeding or damage.
