Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To audit the management of ectopic pregnancy over a three-year period. MATERIALS-METHODS: The medical records of 40 women diagnosed and hospitalized with ectopic pregnancy from 1999 to 2002 at Fatih University Hospital were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS: Mean age of women was 29.3 years. The most common presenting symptom was abdominal pain (67.5%) and most frequent physical finding was abdominal tenderness (97.5%). The prevalence of smoking was 60%. Past histories of laparotomy and previous ectopic pregnancy were 37.5% and 17.5% respectively. 52.5% of the patients were using a contraceptive method. The most common contraceptive methods were coitus interruptus (25%) and intrauterine device (20%). In 65% of the cases, the ectopic pregnancy was located in the right tuba uterina and in 35% was located in left tuba uterina. Ten women (25%) were followed-up with expectant management, 9 women (22.5%) received single-dose methotrexate. 21 women (52.5%) were treated surgically. The mean levels of b hCG in different groups were as follows: Expectant management group=921.2±648.4 mIU/L, methotrexate therapy group=1664±1571 mIU/L, radical surgery group=1327±1346 mIU/L, conservative surgery group=1955±1696 mIU/L. In two cases (22.2%) single-dose methotrexate therapy failed and required a second dose of methotrexate. 32.5% of the patients underwent laparotomy and 20% of the cases underwent laparoscopy. Conservative tubal surgery was performed in 28.5%. There was no complication and none required further surgery. CONCLUSION: Although expectant management and methotrexate therapy are effective and safe options in patients with ectopic pregnancy, the majority of women still undergo surgical management as a result of late admission to hospital and delay in diagnosis.

Özet

Amaç: Uç yıllık ektopik gebelik olgularının tedavilerini değerlendirmek. Materyal ve Metot: 1999-2002 tarihlerinde Fatih Üniversitesi Hastanesi'nde ektopik gebelik tanısıyla tedavi gören 40 hasta retrospektif olarak araştırıldı. Sonuçlar: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 29.3 idi. En sık başvuru şikâyeti karın ağrısı (%67.5), en sık muayene bulgusu ise abdominal hassasiyet idi (%97-5). Sigara içme oranı %60 idi. Laparotomi öyküsüne %37.5, önceden ektopik gebelik geçirme öyküsüne %17-5 oranında rastlandı. Hastaların %52.5'i bir kontraseptif yöntem kullanmaktaydı. En sık kullanılan yöntem geri çekme (%25) ve intrauterin araçtı (%20). Olguların %65'inde ektopik gebelik, sağ tubaya yerleşirken, %35'inde sol tubaya yerleştiği görüldü. Ortalama fi hCG seviyeleri, gözlem ile takip edilen grupta 921.2±648.4 mlU/L, metotreksat uygulanan grupta 1664+1571 mlU/L, radikal cerrahi uygulanan grupta 1327+1346 mlU/L, konservatif cerrahi uygulanan grupta 1955+1696 mlU/L idi. On ektopik gebelik olgusu, (%25) gözlem altında takip edilirken, 11 olguya (%22.5) tek doz metotreksat uygulandı. Yirmi bir olgu (%52.5) cerrahi olarak tedavi edildi, iki olguda tek doz metotreksat başarısız oldu ve ikinci doz metotreksat uygulandı. Hastaların %32.5'ine laparotomi, %20'sine laparoskopi uygulandı. Konservatif tubal cerrahi olguların %28.5'ine uygulandı. Hiçbir olguda koınplikasyon meydana gelmedi. Tekrar cerrahi gerekmedi. Tartışma: Ektopik gebelik olgularında, bekleme tedavisi ve metotreksat kullanımının etkili ve güvenli olmasına rağmen, cerrahi tedavinin halen büyük bir oranda uygulanması, hastaların hastaneye geç başvurmalarına bağlanabilir.
