Objective: To evaluate the surgical outcomes of patients with recurrent tubal ectopic pregnancy undergoing surgery at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 168 cases of recurrent tubal ectopic pregnancy treated surgically at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024.
Results: 98.8% of patients underwent laparoscopic surgery. Salpingectomy was the most common method (74.4%). The ectopic mass was predominantly located in the contralateral fallopian tube (79.8%), with only 20.2% occurring on the ipsilateral side. Unruptured masses accounted for 48.8%, bleeding masses accounted for 42.9%, while ruptured masses were found in only 7.7% of patients. The majority of patients had insignificant blood loss (42.3%), and only 2.9% experienced blood loss of ≥ 500 ml. Only 1.2% of patients experienced intraoperative complications (bladder injury).
Conclusion: Repeated laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy is the preferred method, being safe and highly effective.
