Professional Med J Jan ;8(4):496-9.

A prospective study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of systemic methotrexate treatment in combination with its local injection under ultrasound guidance in un-ruptured ectopic pregnancy. This was carried out in Mayo Hospital Lahore in collaboration with Gynecologist of Lady Aitchison Hospital Lahore. A total of 152 women admitted with diagnosis of extra-uterine pregnancy but only 30 women fulfilled the criteria for our protocol. In 90% women no further surgical intervention was required (27/30) and 80% had intra-uterine pregnancy within 15 months of treatment. However 10% failed to respond to medical treatment and needed surgery.
