The accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography for the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy prior to surgery
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) for the detection of ectopic pregnancies (EPs) in women undergoing surgery for presumed ectopic pregnancy. METHODS: A prospective, observational study. Women were d…
