Ectopic pregnancies have implanted in a location other than in the uterine cavity. 95% of ectopic pregnancies occur in a fallopian tube. There is currently no technology that can save pregnancies that have implanted in the wrong place.
Shown below are photographs from laparoscopy surgeries for ectopics.

Most women with tubal pregnancies have some tubal scarring and have an increased risk for future ectopic pregnancies. Some will need in vitro fertilization in order to become pregnant in the uterus.
Much more information about tubal pregnancies is on the ectopic pregnancy page.
