ECTOPIC PREGNANCY AS A COMPLICATION OF ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNIQUES FOLLOWING BILATERAL SALPHINGECTOMIES

Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy continues to be one of the important reasons for maternal mortality. With the widespread and frequent use of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART), the frequency of abnormally located pregnancies also rises. In this article, we presented a case of an ectopic pregnancy occurring in the right tubal stump after an intracytoplasmic sperm injection – embryo transfer performed on a 39 year-old patient with secondary infertility and bilateral salphingectomy. Although a bilateral salphingectomy was performed in IVF cycles for an early diagnosis in order to decrease maternal morbidity and mortality, an ectopic pregnancy in the stump should be definitely taken into consideration in cases where no intrauterine pregnancy is observed.

BİLATERAL SALPENJEKTOMİ SONRASI UYGULANAN YARDIMLA ÜREME TEKNİKLERİNİN BİR KOMPLİKASYONU OLARAK OLUŞAN EKTOPİK GEBELİK OLGUSU

Abstract

Ektopik gebelik halen maternal mortalitenin önemli nedenlerinden biri olmaya devam etmektedir. Yardımla Üreme Teknikleri (YÜT)' nin yaygın ve sık kullanılması ile birlikte anormal yerleşimli gebeliklerin sıklığı da artmaktadır. Bu yazıda 39 yaşında sekonder infertil ve bilateral salpenjektomili hastaya uygulanan intrasitoplazmik sperm injeksiyonu embryo transferi sonrası sağ tubal stump ta meydana gelen ektopik gebelik vakasını sunduk. Maternal morbidite ve mortaliteyi azaltmak amacıyla erken tanı için İVF sikluslarında bilateral salpenjektomi yapılmış olsa da intrauterin gebelik izlenmediği durumlarda ayırıcı tanıda mutlaka stumpta ektopik gebelik düşünülmelidir.
