Abstract
Objective: In this study our main goal is to evaluate the clinical and operative findings of ectopic pregnancy. Method: This descriptive study was carried out at tertiary medical college and hospital from January to December 2018-2019. Where 80 Patients who were clinically suspected but laparotomy findings ruled out ectopic pregnancy. Results: During the study, history of pelvic infection (26.25%), induced abortion (17.5%), previous MR (16.25%) and sub fertility (11.25%) constitute the main bulk of risk factors. Most of the patients (61.25%) presented with amenorrhoea (6-8 weeks) and 21.25%. cases had no history of amenorrhoea. Fallopian tube was affected 92.5% of cases & ampullary ectopic was most common (53.75%). Also, all cases were managed surgically. Salpingectomy with or without contralateral tubal ligation (85%) was the most common operation. Conclusion: Although ectopic can never be eliminated completely but some risk factors, responsible for ectopic pregnancy can be prevented by educational efforts. And early diagnosis and prompt conservative surgical or medical management will help in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity.
