The dangers of open surgery for ectopic pregnancy

Most of the current medical level of ectopic pregnancy choose laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for treatment, because the technology of laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery surgery is very mature, and the surgical trauma is relatively small, and postoperative recovery is fast. However, when the patient has a contraindication to general anesthesia or there is a large amount of acute bleeding, especially urgent, you can choose open surgery. The risks of open surgery are mainly reflected in the following aspects: first, the possibility of infection or pelvic organ damage may occur during the operation. Secondly, after the surgery, the patient may have pelvic adhesions, chronic pelvic pain or abnormal urination and defecation, which are mainly related to the adhesions during the surgery. Thirdly, compared with minimally invasive surgery, open surgery will leave a longer scar on the patient’s abdomen, which may affect the patient’s aesthetics or cause endometriosis at the scar or itching at the scar on cloudy days or in the rain.
