[Incidence of ectopic pregnancy at the 1st Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Bari during the past 10 years. Clinico-statistical considerations].
The Authors, in the period 1979-1988, discovered 175 ectopic pregnancies out of a total of 16.641 pregnancies: a rate of incidence of 1 in 95 (1.05%); 28 patients were fitted with an IUD. In accordance with published data, they recognize an increase in the incidence of ectopic pregnancies and emphasize the importance of a precocious clinical diagnostic, to reconcile timeliness of operation with the need of conservative surgery, the indication for which should take into account many factors (the age, the general condition, the parity, the wish for a pregnancy, the state and condition of the tube on each side) since it seems to predispose to recurrent ectopic pregnancies. They indicate the negative effects on the tube for patients fitted with an IUD.
