Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. Surgical abortion is not effective in ending ectopic pregnancies, and in fact, attempting it can be life-threatening for the woman. Multiple embryos would also not necessarily cause a failure of surgical abortion, as they would be detected with ultrasound before the procedure, and a different approach would be taken. Obesity or being too thin may affect the difficulty of the procedure, but it would not necessarily cause a failure in ending the pregnancy.
