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.
