INTRODUCTION: We evaluated steps leading to the diagnosis and treatment diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy patients. The relationship between gestational age belong to last menstrual period (LMP) and treatment methods were evaluated.
METHODS: 192 cases of treated ectopic pregnancy were evaluated according to the diagnostic methods and treatment options between 2011-2014 in our tertiary clinic.
RESULTS: The incidence of ectopic pregnancy was found 30.8/1000. A single dose of methotrexate (MTX) treatment success rate was 69.8%, and the success rate of the two-dose medical treatment with MTX was 87.5%. The most common surgical procedure for patients undergoing surgery (54%) were salpengectomy. Follow-up treatment was sufficient in 37 patients (19.2%). When the forms of
treatment compared with certain parameters;There were found statistically significant difference between going to
surgery with the high β-hCG level, positive fetal cardiac beats (FHB), free fluid in the abdomen, large size of ectopic pregnancy and big gestational ages according to LMP (p <0.05).
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: When the ectopic pregnancy diagnosed early; we investigated that patients with small gestational age belong to LMP with follow-up and medical treatment, and also we identified patients with advanced gestatioanal age were treated surgery treatment.
