20 cases of unruptured ectopic pregnancies were studied from August 1990 till May 1991. They were treated according to the Sauers et al. (1987) protocol with Methotrexate and rescuvolin. The treatment was successful in all but one case. Six out of 17 cases had a normal pregnancy in the 12 months following treatment. Seventeen out of 20 cases had tubal patency checked with HSG and laparoscopy. We conclude that conservative management of unruptured pregnancy with MTX must be the treatment of choice.
