ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the value of the combination of methotrexate(MTX) injection through hysteroscopic tubal catheterization and mifepristone per os in the conservative treatment of tubal pregnancy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Forty patients who met the criteria of conservative treatment were enrolled in this study and received the combined therapy of MTX 50 mg/d injection through hysteroscopic tubal catheterization and oral mifepristone 100mg/d for 5 days.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of these 40 patients, 38 (95.0%) were cured. The human chorionic gonadotropin decreased to normal level within 3-48 days. The masses disappeared within 16-65 days. The menstruation returned normal within 28-42 days. No obvious side effect was observed. Of 30 patients who underwent hydrotubation through hysteroscopy three months later, 12 patients were unobstructed, 2 patients were completely obstructed, and 16 patients were partially obstructed. Five patients had full-term deliveries up to this report.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The combination of MTX injection through hysteroscopic tubal catheterization and mifepristone per os is safe and effective for early tubal pregnancy.</p>
