Ectopic pregnancy is detectable by ultrasound



Proof GEU is often difficult and time-consuming, since by far not in all cases, ectopic pregnancy detectable by ultrasound. An ultrasound can often describe only indirect signs GEU (higher endometrium, free fluid in the uterus) to diagnosis based on a series of ultrasound examinations and blood (the level of the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin - hCG). The gold standard in the diagnosis and treatment of GEU is a laparoscopy, but although it is a performance mini-invasive, still operating with certain risks and complications. It is therefore important to indicate it judiciously.


Laparoscopy allows the detection or exclusion of ectopic pregnancy, its location and the surrounding examinations, particularly reproductive organs (state unaffected oviduct for further progress and prognosis of patients very significantly). Of course then allow the surgical removal of an ectopic pregnancy. Drug treatment GEU (local in laparoscopy or systemic injection) is possible - used chemotherapeutic agent methotrexate - but for its possible side effects, uncertain effect and time-consuming in our conditions rarely used. Classic open (laparotomy) approach to pregnancy is now used only rarely, mostly in peracute cases, accompanied by a large intra-abdominal bleeding and shock.


If we ignore the unique localization of an ectopic pregnancy, the standard surgical treatment of tubal pregnancy salpingotomie (longitudinally opposite fallopian tube) followed by aspiration of the product concept (fallopian tube usually leaves no sutures to heal spontaneously) or salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tube including GEU).
