The main outcome measure was the occurrence of intrauterine pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy at 3 years of follow-up after the index ectopic pregnancy. Results: 64 patients with primary ectopic formed the basis of the study. 84.37% of patients undergone radical surgery (salpingectomy) and 15.62% forming the conservative group (Salpingotomy/milking) were included. In 3 years follow up, 40% of conservative group and 59% of radical group had intrauterine pregnancy. 30% in conservative group and 46% of radical group had term delivery. 20% of conservative group and 18.51% in radical group had repeated ectopic. Incidence of term delivery in patients with the past history of sub fertility was 25% and without subfertility 46%. 17% with tubal pathology and 63% with normal tube had term pregnancy. 37% aged more than 30 years and 44.64% aged less than 30 years had term pregnancy. Conclusions: Subfertility, tubal pathology and age will influence on future fertility outcome following ectopic pregnancy. Radical or conservative surgery does not have influence on future pregnancy outcome.
