[Extrauterine pregnancy and its obstetrical prognosis (apropos of 135 cases)].
The authors have studied 135 case histories of extra-uterine pregnancies which were operated on and followed up the years 1965-1973. They draw attention to: 1. At the clinical level atypical symptoms are found in 29% of cases, which means that the diagnosis is made late in many cases (36% of ruptured tubes) in spite of modern methods of diagnosis. 2. As far as the woman's obstetrical future is concerned they note the low level of further conceptions (51%), the rarity of pregnancies that go to term (24%), and the importance of complication (15%). Fertility after extra-uterine pregnancy is higher when the woman has already had children (43%) as against those women whose extra-uterine pregnancy is in their first pregnancy (25%). They suggest that these results can be improved if on top of surgical treatment further medical supportive treatment is given such as antibiotics, steroids and postoperative hydrotubation.
