Ectopic Pregnancy
Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube.
This happens when the embryo fails to reach the uterus and gets trapped in the fallopian tube due to damaged tissues, often caused by factors like smoking, pelvic inflammatory diseases, or tubal ligation.
In rare cases, ectopic pregnancies may also occur in the cervix or abdominal cavity.
Symptoms of Ectopic Pregnancy:
- Vaginal bleeding
- Abdominal and pelvic pain
- Dizziness and body pain
Treatment Options:
- Surgery is the primary treatment for ectopic pregnancy, as it poses significant risks to both the mother and fetus.
- At Greenview Medical Centre, we provide comprehensive facilities and treatment options for couples facing ectopic pregnancy.
- Surgical removal of the affected fallopian tube section is the most common approach. This can be done through open or laparoscopic methods, depending on the patient’s condition and surgeon’s recommendation.
Ectopic Pregnancy Removal Procedures:
Salpingostomy:
- A lengthwise incision is made in the fallopian tube, and the implanted fetus is carefully removed.
- The incision is left unstitched to allow natural healing.
Salpingectomy:
- A portion of the fallopian tube containing the ectopic pregnancy is surgically removed.
- The remaining ends of the tube are then reconnected to restore proper function.
- This method is preferred in cases of ruptured fallopian tubes with heavy bleeding.
Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery:
- Minimal invasive method
- Reduced hospital stay
- Faster recovery
- Less post-operative discomfort
- Lower risk of complications
