Sixty-four cases who were treated ectopic pregnancy in our clinic between January 2007-December 2012 have been evaluated retrospectively for demographic features, diagnosting modalities and treatment approaches. Results. The avarage age of the patients were 31.3 years. The risk factors in the order of frequencies were previous abdominopelvic surgery (17%), the use of intrauterine device (6.2%), previous ectopic pregnancies (6.2%) and previous pelvic inflammatory disease (2%).

The serum mean β-HCG level of the patients on admission to our clinic was 3496mLU/mL.Transvaginal ultrasonographic findings of ectopic pregnancy were seen 96.8% of cases. All of the patients were surgically treated in our series. Fifty-three percent of patients were treated by laparotomy, 48% were treated with laparoscopy.Surgical procedures were salpingectomy (62.5%), salpingostomy (29.7%), partial oopherectomy (3.1%) and oopherectomy (1.6%). Conclusion. Ectopic pregnancies are important health problems since they may interfere with fertility capability of the patient in her future life and may even cause maternal mortality.
