Abstract
Ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of a blastocyst outside of the endometrial lining of the uterus. There are various forms of ectopic pregnancy, such as ovarian, abdominal, and tubal pregnancy. Nearly 97.7% of all ectopic gestations occur in the fallopian tube, which is the most common location for ectopic pregnancy. Almost 80% of tubal pregnancy occurs in the ampulla, followed by the isthmus (12%). Ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed with the classic triad of amenorrhea, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and a positive pregnancy test
