Extrauteringraviditäten nach „Abruptio“ bei fehlendem Nachweis intrauteriner Schwangerschaften*

: 287 women underwent surgery for ectopic pregnancy from January 1, 1979 to December 31, 1985. Prior to laparotomy, seven patients (2.4%) had applied for an induced abortion elsewhere in the absence of evidence of an intact intrauterine pregnancy. During these interventions, histological examination of the scraping was only in two cases. Despite histological findings, should one patient was not advised to present for inpatient clarification. The other patient had to be hospitalized at our clinic before a histological finding was available. During operation in 5 patients, we found tubal rupture with resultant hemoperitoneum of 1500 ml to 3000 ml. Tubal abortion occurred in the remaining two cases. These observations substantiate the absolute necessity to undertake routine histological examinations of the material obtained at abortion in every case.
