Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine treatment approaches and success rates of ectopic pregnancy which had been diagnosed in our department during the last three years.Materials and methods: A total of 77 ectopic pregnancy cases were retrospectively analyzed between 2010 and 2013.Results: Age range of the patients was 20-44 years with a mean of 29.27 ± 4.99. Site of the ectopic pregnancy cases had been identified as 74 97% tubal, one 1% cervical, 1 1% overial and 1 1% in the cesarean section scarline. The rate of response was 68.5% with methotrexate. No maternal death was observed. Conclusion: Ectopic pregnancy is an important issue because of affecting fertility and high rates of mortality and morbidity.

Ektopik Gebelik Olgularında Tedavi Seçenekleri ve Başarı Oranlarımız

Abstract

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı kliniğimizde son üç yılda ektopik gebelik tanısı ile tedavi edilen hastaların tanı ve tedavi yaklaşımlarının irdelenerek tedavi başarı oranlarımızın belirlenmesidir.Gereç ve yöntem: 2010 ve 2013 tarihleri arasinda ektopik gebelik tanısı alan ve tedavi edilen toplam 77 olgu retrospektif olarak incelendi.Bulgular: Vakalarımızın yaş aralığı 20-44 yaş olup, ortalaması 29.27 ± 4.99 olarak saptandı. Olgularımızın ektopik gebelik yerleşim yeri 74 % 97 tubal, 1 % 1 servikal, 1 % 1 ovaryal ve 1 % 1 ise sezeryan skar hattı idi. Metotreksat tedavisine yanıt % 68.5 olarak hesaplandı. Maternal mortalite görülmedi.Sonuç: Ektopik gebelik fertiliteyi etkilemesi, mortalite ve morbiditesinin yüksek olması bakımından günümüzde hala önemini koruyan bir hastalıktır.
