Abstract Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with western medicine to treat tubal pregnancy. Methods: 412 patients with tubal pregnancy were divided into two group randomly: 203 patients in observation group were treated by TCM combined with western medicine, while 209 patients in control group were treated by laparoscopic fallopian tubes conservative surgery. The outcomes including time of serum β-hCG decreased to normal level, cure rate, Rate of fallopian tubes recanalization, intrauterine pregnancy rate, repeated ectopic pregnancy rate and living quality were compared between the two groups. Results: In the observation group, the time of serum β-hCG decreased to normal level and hospitalization days were longer than those of the control group (P<0.01), while hospitalization expenses were lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant difference between the two groups in cure rate, rate of fallopian tubes recanalization and rate of intrauterine pregnancy (P>0.05). The rate of repeated ectopic pregnancy of observation group (12.09%) was lower than that of the control group (19.80%). After treatment, the living quality of women in both groups were improved, but the living quality of women in observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Compared with laparoscopic fallopian tubes conservative surgery for women with tubal pregnancy, efficacy of treatment using TCM combined with western medicine is equivalent, but cost is less. In additional, the rate of repeated ectopic pregnancy is lower and living quality is higher. Therefore, treatment using TCM combined with western medicine is worthy popularized widely in clinical.
