[Salpingitis and tubal pregnancy in materials from the Clinics of the Surgical Gynecological Academy of Medicine in Lublin in the years 1978-1988]. / Stany zapalne jajowodów i ciaza jajowodowa w materiale i Kliniki Ginekologii Operacyjnej Akademii Medycznej w Lublinie w latach 1978-1988.

This retrospective study was based on hospital records analysis. The incidence of tubal pregnancy and salpingitis were evaluated and possible correlation between these two diseases was estimated. Despite of many other authors reports about increase of tubal pregnancy incidence we observed decline of tubal pregnancy incidence in studied period. Increase of salpingitis incidence did not alter this trend. Authors conclude that recently reported increase of tubal pregnancy incidence in many countries is valid only in populations studied and can not be generalized. The increase of salpingitis incidence does not necessarily influence tubal pregnancy incidence.

Retrospective study was performed upon incidence of tubal pregnancy and histopathologically proved post-infection changes in oviducts. The incidence of tubal pregnancy was significantly decreasing in studied period in our institution despite the fact that salpingitis was found more often. Authors conclude that recently reported increase of tubal pregnancy is valid only in the populations studied and not in general. Relation between salpingitis and tubal pregnancy is not always evident.
