Clinical evaluation of ultrasound markers of extratubal forms of ectopic pregnancy: choice of surgical method and principles of rehabilitation treatment

Aspects of ultrasound diagnostics of extratubal forms of ectopic pregnancy are presented from the standpoint of choosing the optimal treatment tactics for patients, aimed primarily at minimiz-ing surgical procedures. The issues of diagnostics of cervical pregnancy, caesarean scar preg-nancy, ovarian pregnancy, as well as a rare indication of tubal pregnancy – interstitial pregnancy are detailed. In most cases, echography is not only decisive, but, in fact, the only method of pre-operative diagnosis. In this case, color Doppler mapping of blood flow in the vessels of the ec-topic trophoblast is of great importance, which makes it possible to assess the degree of its inva-sion and, thereby, to make adjustments to the surgical tactics. The emphasis is made on the role of rehabilitation treatment. Key words: ectopic pregnancy, extratubar forms, ultrasound diagnostics, treatment tactics, re-habilitation therapy
