Abstract
BACKGROUND A tubal ectopic pregnancy is one in which blastocyst implants in fallopian tube. Ectopic pregnancy accounts for 1-2% of total pregnancies and 95% of them are tubal ectopic. It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the reproductive age group. A woman with two ectopic pregnancies has a 10-fold chance for another. Aims & Objectives- To study tubal patency following management of tubal ectopic pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A descriptive study of duration of 1 year, 50 cases from OB/GYN Dept., BRD Medical College, Gorakhpur. RESULTS Out of 50 cases, 30 cases were managed by surgery, 12 by methotrexate and 8 by expectant method. Free passage of dye was seen in contralateral tube 91%, 87%, 83.3% following methotrexate, expectant and surgical method respectively. There was statistically significant difference among groups. Free passage through the ipsilateral tube after MTX treatment was seen in 83% of the cases (10 out of 12). After expectant management, it was seen in 75% of the cases (6 out of 8). Difference was not significant. CONCLUSION Clinical treatment and surgery affect the contralateral tubal patency differently. Medical therapy should be preferred, if feasible.
