Abstract:
A prospective study was conducted at Hung Vuong Hospital from 2002 to 2004 on total of 1423 ectopic pregnancy cases to find out determinants of operation methods, either by laparoscopy or laparotomy, in conservative treatment of unruptured ectopic pregnancy. 355 patients were enrolled in the study with 190 laparoscopic operations and 165 laparotomy operations. Factors favored to laparotomy included history of ectopic pregnancy, ectopic mass<30mm and serum o-hCG at the time of operation<1000 mUI/ml. Determinants for laparoscopic operation included maternal aged 24-35 years, blood loss<100 ml and the surgeons familiar to laparoscopy. Laparoscopy method had operation time shorter than laparotomy, and there is no difference between the two methods concerning persistent ectopic pregnancy
