ADVANCED ABDOMINAL PREGNANCY -A REVIEW

Introduction: The egg cell naturally implants inside the endometrial cavity. Blastocyst implantation everywhere else other than the endometrial cavity is considered as an ectopic pregnancy the prevalence of which is around 2 percent and accounts for 6 percent of pregnancy-related mortality cases in mothers. Methods: In this review article, the databases Medline, Cochrane, Science Direct, and Google Scholar were thoroughly searched to identify the Advanced abdominal pregnancy. In this review, the papers published until early January 2017 that were conducted to study the Advanced abdominal pregnancy were selected. Results: In recent years, the likelihood of ectopic pregnancy has increased. However, ectopic pregnancy hardly results in birth of a live infant. Some reasons for increased ectopic pregnancy include increased pelvic infection and tube damage cases as a result of assisted reproductive techniques and fallopian tube surgeries. Discussion and Conclusion: Ectopic pregnancy may occur simultaneously with intrauterine pregnancy, and this is called heterotypic pregnancy. The diagnosis is very hard in these cases. The heterotypic pregnancies occur hardly with the incident rate of 1 for every 30000 intrauterine pregnancies. Key words: Advanced, abdominal, pregnancy
