The purpose of this review is to examine the current state of knowledge regarding the treatment of non-tubal ectopic pregnancies. This review looks at the management of cervical, caesarean scar, ovarian, interstitial, cornual and abdominal pregnancies. Traditionally these pregnancies have been diagnosed late and managed by open surgery. Earlier diagnosis has led to the use of minimal access techniques, medical and conservative management for all types of non-tubal pregnancies. Increased awareness and the experience of specialised centres have led to an improved understanding of the best way to manage non-tubal ectopic pregnancies and the development of new techniques.
