A total of 65 cases of ectopic pregnancy were analyzed, over a period of 1 year that is from September 2020 to August 2021Results: The incidence of ectopic pregnancy was 12.8/1000 deliveries. Majority of cases were multigravidas and of gestation age between 6 to 10 weeks. The common risk factors were PID, contraception failure (IUCD), tubal ligation, infertility, ART procedures, tubal surgery, and previous ectopic and previous abortion. Ultrasound, urine pregnancy test, serum ?-hCG titre were done. Laparotomy was done in all cases. Surgery in form of salpingectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, and uterine reconstruction was done. No maternal mortality occurred.Conclusions: Diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy requires clinical suspicion and supportive investigations like UPT, ultrasonography, ?-HCG and laparoscopy.
