Abstract
Abstract:Ectopic pregnancy means the presence of pregnancy outside the normal uterine cavity. Ectopic pregnancy is a common life threatening emergency in first trimester of pregnancy and it leads to serious maternal morbidity and also can cause mortality. Over the last few decades, the incidence of ectopic pregnancy has increased almost to the extent of an epidemic disease. Aim of study was to determine the incidence, clinical presentation, risk factors, treatment and morbidity and mortality associated with ectopic pregnancy. This is retrospective analysis conducted at Government medical college and hospital, Udaipur, Rajasthan from January 2015 to January 2016, in this duration there were a total 93 cases reported with ectopic pregnancy ,were admitted at our hospital through emergency or outpatient department. All datas were collected from case record of patients. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy was 4.86 per thousand of deliveries. Maximum (64.51%) cases were in the age group of 21 to 30 years and most of cases (34.40%) were primigravidae. The commonest site of ectopic pregnancy was in ampullary region (52.68%). All patients underwent exploratory laparotomy. Majority 79 (84.94%) cases underwent total salpingectomy. Ectopic pregnancy causes significant morbidity to the mother and hence requires a high index of suspicion so that diagnosis can be made early and also to prevent complications and preserve the future reproductive function of the patient.
