Abstract: | The aim of this study was to assess the fertility outcome afterectopic pregnancy (EP) treated by laparoscopic salpingectomy.Among the 375 patients who underwent this operation betweenJanuary 1983 and December 1993, there were 145 patients whodesired pregnancy and whose contralateral tube was not obstructed.The overall rate of intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) was 50.3%,with an EP rate of 15.2%, These results were analysed accordingto the patients past history together with the conditionof the contralateral tube at the time of the laparoscopy. Wedefined two groups. Group 1 included patients who had no previoushistory of tubal surgery and whose contralateral tube was normal.Group 2 comprised those patients who had a previous historyof tubal surgery and/or those whose tube was pathological, butnot obstructed. Postoperative fertility of the patients in group1 was significantly higher than that of the patients in group2, with IUP rates of 75 and 36.6% respectively (P < 0.001),and a risk of EP recurrence of 9.6 and 183% respectively. Ingroup 1, the actuarial IUP rate at 24 months was significantlyhigher than that for the patients in group 2 (66.7 versus 36.9%;P < 0.001). The patients past history and the conditionof the contralateral tube were the two major factors relatedto fertility outcome after laparoscopic salpingectomy for EP.In patients with no past history of tubal surgery or infertilityand whose contralateral tube was normal, the fertility resultsafter laparoscopic salpingectomy appeared comparable to thoseobserved after conservative laparoscopic treatment |
