    • Surgical Diagnosis

    Background:

    • Ectopic pregnancy presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Previous pelvic pathology is a common predisposing factor.
    • Delayed diagnosis can lead to severe complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze diagnostic challenges in ectopic pregnancy.
    • To evaluate the impact of delayed diagnosis and treatment.
    • To highlight the role of laparoscopy in diagnosis and management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 90 patients with 98 ectopic pregnancies.
    • Analysis of diagnostic methods, predisposing factors, and treatment delays.
    • Comparison of outcomes between different diagnostic approaches.

    Main Results:

    • Diagnostic difficulties were common.
    • 31 patients experienced significant delays in laparotomy.
    • 15 patients required multiple admissions before treatment.
    • One mortality occurred in the series.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate patient history is paramount for early ectopic pregnancy detection.
    • Direct inspection of pelvic organs is the definitive diagnostic method.
    • Laparoscopy offers diagnostic accuracy and can obviate the need for laparotomy in select cases.
