Abstract :

AIM: 1. To study rising trend in the cases of ectopic pregnancy . 2. To evaluate risk factors and suggest methods to reduce its incidence. METHOD: A total of 85 cases of ectopic pregnancy were analyzed, over a period of 1 year that is from June 2017 to May 2018 at S.M.S Medical College and Hospital. RESULTS: The incidence of ectopic pregnancy was 12.8/1000 deliveries. Majority of cases were multigravidas and of gestation age between 6 to 10 weeks. The common risk factors were PID, previous history of abortion, prior tubal surgery, infertility. Ultrasound, urine pregnancy test, serum B–hCG titre were done. Laparotomy was done in all cases. Surgery in form of salpingectomy, salpingo–oophorectomy ,and uterine reconstruction was done. No maternal mortality occurred. CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis, identifying risk factors and timely management in form of conservative/ surgical treatment helps in reducing the morbidity and mortality.
