The authors analyse their surgical material over 17 years. Out of 4676 gynecological operations, 416 related to extrauterine pregnancy, and only one of them was bilateral extrauterine pregnancy. The diagnosis in the latter case was made during the operation. The initial diagnosis was confirmed pathohistologically. The authors point out that during the operation it is necessary to control both ovarian tubes and that the material removed by surgery should always be examined pathohistologically.

From 1981 to 1983, 3660 intrauterine contraceptive devices were taken away, in 278 cases by the modified extractor after Soonawalla, because the short tread of the device was broken or drawn into the uterus. The most frequent indication for the removal of the device was irregular bleeding. Prior to extraction, X-ray and ultrasound were used to determine the position of the device in the uterus.
