- Brief Summary
Ectopic Pregnancy is an entity in which a fertilized ovum is implanted outside its normal place, is considered a public health problem worldwide and is one of the main causes of maternal mortality in the first trimester. The availability of high sensitivity methods of detection of gonadotrophins and the use of high resolution transvaginal ultrasonography have allowed an earlier diagnosis of the same, enabling less aggressive treatments such as the use of parenteral MTX, with the intention of avoiding mutilating surgical treatment , preserving the tube and eventually improving future fertility expectations. The surgical treatment is of choice, this can be laparoscopically or by laparotomy. In this case, we need to preserve fertility, the most indicated is linear salpingostomy; In spite of the existence other techniques.
- Detailed Description
The EP constitutes a frequent obstetric emergency in Angola and the province of Benguela is not exempt from this health problem. Every day we see women with this pathology, to which, most of them, they undergo a mutilating surgical treatment (salpingectomy) that impedes their future reproductive capacity. The procreation in the African continent and especially in Angola, has great social and family implications that can reach the breaking of marriages and family (broadcast and study of the Public Television of Angola in the program "Na lente" no year 2018 Taking into account the importance of procreation in the welfare and stability of the marital relationship.Main Objectiv: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of conservative treatment with MTX in ipsilateral tubal patency after an uncomplicated ectopic pregnancy compared with surgical treatment with linear salpingostomy in the Hospital General, Angola
