Abstract Objectives: To determine whether there exists a relationship between age and side dominance of tubal ectopic pregnancies. Material and Methods: One hundred twenty patients were retrospectively analyzed. The sides of the tubal ectopic pregnancies were recorded on the basis of laparoscopy or laparotomy findings. Five age groups were created: 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, and ≥40 years. Results: Of the patients who were ≥ 30 years of age, 46 (69%) and 21 (31%) had tubal ectopic pregnancies on the right and left sides, respectively (p=0.002). In the 35-39 years of age group, 17 of 20 patients (85%) had tubal ectopic pregnancies on the right, and 3 of 20 patients (15%) on the left side (p=0.002). In the 30-34 years of age group, 26 of 39 patients (67%) and 13 of 39 patients (33%) had tubal ectopic pregnancies on the right and left sides, respectively (p=0.037). In the ≥ 40 years of age group, 3 of 8 patients (37%) had tubal ectopic pregnancy on the right side, while 5 patients (63%) on the left side (p=0.48). Conclusions: Patients who are between the age of 30-40 years have a right-sided dominance of tubal ectopic pregnancy, however studies that involve larger numbers of subjects are needed to make definitive conclusions about women older than 40 years of age.. Key words: ectopic pregnancy /side dominance / age / ovulation /.

Streszczenie Cel pracy: Celem pracy była ocena czy istnieje związek pomiędzy wiekiem pacjentek i stroną, po której umiejscawia się ciąża ektopowa jajowodowa. Materiał i metoda: Retrospektywnie przeanalizowano historię choroby 120 pacjentek. Umiejscowienie ciąży ektopowej było określone na podstawie laparoskopii lub laparotomii. Utworzono pięć grup wiekowych pacjentek: 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39 oraz ≥40 lat. Wyniki: Spośród pacjentek w wieku ≥30 lat, 46 (69%) i 21 (31%)miało ciążę ektopową po prawej lub lewej stronie, odpowiednio (p0=0,002). W grupie 35-39 lat, 17 z 20 pacjentek miało ciążę ektopową po prawej stronie a 3 (15%) po stronie lewej (p=0,002). W grupie 30-34 lat, 26 z 39 (67%) pacjentek oraz 13 z 39 (33%) miało ciążę po prawej lub lewej stronie, odpowiednio (p=0,037). W grupie kobiet powyżej 40 lat, 3 z 8 pacjentek (37%) miało ciążę ektopową po prawej stronie, podczas gdy 5 (63%) po stronie lewej (p=0,48). Wnioski: Pacjentki w wieku 30-40 lat miały dominację prawostronnej ciąży ektopowej, aczkolwiek dalsze badania na większej grupie kobiet są potrzebne by wyciągnąć wnioski odnośnie kobiet powyżej 40 lat..
