Why does an ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube risk maternal mortality more than tubal ligation?

💡 Explanation

Ectopic pregnancy poses a risk because implantation within the fallopian tube leads to tubal rupture, causing severe intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Therefore, mortality risk is high due to hypovolemic shock, rather than tubal ligation, which is a controlled occlusion.
