Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 8 patients with ectopic pregnancy admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to January 2020, all of whom underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. Contrast ultrasonography was performed immediately after the operation to observe the changes of pregnancy sac. The length of hospital stay, mass absorption time and menstrual recovery time of the patients were recorded. Postoperative complications and serum human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) negative conversion time were observed. At 3 months after the operation, hysterosalpingography was performed 3-7 days after the menstruation to observe the patency of the fallopian tubes, all patients were followed up for 1 year to observe the postoperative intrauterine pregnancy and re-ectopic pregnancy.Results:All the 8 patients were successfully treated with radiofrequency ablation, and postoperative ultrasonography showed that the mass remained unenhanced. The length of hospital stay was (3.0±0.8)d. The packet absorption time was (32.4±14.3)d. The recovery time of menstruation was (39.6±2.7)d. There were no serious complications.Blood HCG levels decreased rapidly within a week, and all returned to normal level of non-pregnancy 2-3 weeks after the operation. Three months after the operation, the salpingogram showed that the fallopian tubes were recanalized in 3 patients. After a follow-up of 1 year, 1 patient had a natural intrauterine pregnancy, and there was no case of recurrent ectopic pregnancy.Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation is effective in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy with minimal trauma and rapid recovery, and can retain the reproductive ability of patients to some extent, which is worth popularizing in clinical application.
