Abstract: Objective：To assess the accuracy of transabdominal sonography （TAS） and transvaginal sonography（TVS） in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy by meta-analysis. Methods：Literatures about transabdominal sonography（TAS） versus transvaginal sonography（TVS） in patients with ectopic pregnancy issued from January 1995 to December 2008 were retrieved and the effects were quantitatively estimated with fixed-effect model and random-effect model by meta-analysis. Results：In 22 trials, the diagnose accordance rate between TVS and TAS is significant, with the pooled RR 1.37（95% CI 1.24～1.52）. Conclusions：TVS was better in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy than TAS.
