Expectant management of persistent ectopic pregnancy. A case report.
Monitoring serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) titers after conservative surgery for ectopic pregnancy has been recommended to rule out persistent ectopic pregnancy. With this increased monitoring, the occurrence of persistent ectopic pregnancy has been reported with increasing frequency. Management techniques for this complication have thus far been surgical or medical. We used expectant management for a case of persistent ectopic pregnancy, monitoring serial serum hCG titers to the limits of detectability over a period of 69 days.
