Type of Surgery

A tubal or ectopic pregnancy can be removed in several ways. If the fallopian tube is ruptured (A), the tube is tied off on both sides, and the embryo removed. If the tube is intact, the embryo can be pulled out the end of the tube (C), or tube can be cut open and the contents removed (D). (Illustration by GGS Inc.)
