Abstract
CELIS M, Paula; FUENTES Q, Francisco; MIGUELES R, Daniela and DOREN V, Adriana. Tratamiento médico del embarazo ectópico no complicado; experiencia del hospital regional de talca. Rev. chil. obstet. ginecol. [online]. 2017, vol.82, n.1, pp.46-50. ISSN 0717-7526. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-75262017000100006.
Medical treatment of non complicated ectopic pregnancy is an alternative for the management of this pathology. There are different criteria for it's use, and published success rates are heterogeneous. We reviewed 34 cases of patients with diagnosis of no complicated ectopic pregnancy in Hospital Regional de Talca, and we reported a success rate of 65% with a single dose of methotrexate. 20,5% of patients needed an additional dose of medication. The global success rate of medical treatment was 73,5%. No surgical management is an effective alternative for well-selected patients. The criteria for medical treatment of no complicated EE must be evaluated locally.
