Protocol summary

Study aim
The effect of laparoscopic salpingostomy, laparotomy, and methotrexate treatment on hysterosalpingography results
Design
A randomized clinical trial with the parallel groups, without blinding
Settings and conduct
In this study, 99 patients with ectopic pregnancy will be included in the study and will be randomly divided into three groups. These patients will be treated with laparoscopic salpingostomy, laparotomy and methotrexate treatment, respectively. They undergo hysterosalpingography three months after the intervention. Ectopic pregnancy mass size and infection will then be assessed and recorded.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria include mass diameter less than 3.5 cm, stable hemodynamics, Beat human chorionic gonadotrophin (BHCG) less than 5000 mIU/mL, and satisfaction to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria include ectopic pregnancy recurrence, fetal cardiac activity in ectopic pregnancy, having liver and kidney disease, having lung disease, having an active stomach ulcer, and breastfeeding.
Intervention groups
Intervention group 1: Patients in this group are treated with laparoscopic salpingostomy. Intervention group 2: Patients in this group undergo laparotomy. Intervention group 3: Patients in this group will be treated with methotrexate. All patients undergo hysterosalpingography three months after the intervention.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group I: Patients in the first group undergo laparoscopic salpingostomy. So that, after the pneumoperitone is generated by the electronic pneumoperitoneum storz electronic device, an 11 mm trocar enters the abdomen from the umbilicus, then a laparoscope connected to the cold xenon light enters from the trocar and enters the outer end of the trocar attaches to the camera. After examining the abdomen and pelvis under direct vision, two 5.5 mm trocars are implanted in the lower abdomen to pass surgical instruments. First, the tube is determined and released, then a 1-2 cm incision is made in the antisentric section of the tube using a laser, micro electrode or scissors. The pregnancy product often protrudes spontaneously and gently comes out of the tube. Or is removed using hydrodissection and laparoscopic forceps.

Description
Intervention group 2: Patients in the second group undergo laboratory surgery. So that, after opening the abdominal wall layers and exposing the uterus and cardiac tube, a 10-15 mm incision is made in the anticentric margin on the ectopic pregnancy. Pregnancy products usually come out of the incision site. Pregnancy products can be carefully removed or removed using a high-pressure washing system that removes the trophoblastic tissue more completely.
