[Ectopic pregnancy].
In Finland there were 3 193 ectopic pregnancies registered during the years 1973-1976 (1,25% of the newborns) and 4 856 ectopic pregnancies (1,91%) during the years 1977-1980. Also in the State Maternity Hospital Helsinki the ectopic pregnancy rate rose from 0,8% to 1,4%. During the years 1977-1980 241 women were operated on. From 112 patients without postoperative contraception 48% gave birth, 33% remained infertile, 10% had a recurrent ectopic pregnancy and 9% had an abortion. The best results were achieved in the salpingectomy group. In cases of conservative operations expression was more favorable than salpingotomy. With the development of better diagnostic methods the possibility of conservative operations, partial resection of the tube, respectively, later followed by microsurgical anastomosis, will be increased.
