description Introduction: Interstitial pregnancy is rare and its mortality is higher than in other locations. Its increasingly early diagnosis allows the choice of less aggressive treatments. The cornerstone is hemostasis. Objective: To describe the results of the treatment of patients treated for ectopic horn pregnancy. Method: A descriptive study was carried out in 18 women with interstitial ectopic pregnancy, treated at the Hospital Militar Central "Dr. Luis Díaz Soto" from 2010 to 2019. They were treated by laparotomy and circular suture of the horn, with subsequent cornual resection and extraction of ovular material. The variables age, risk factors, surgical time, intraoperative bleeding, evolution (complications, recovery, beta fraction of chorionic gonadotropin, postoperative ultrasound controls) and hospital stay were studied. Results: 72% of the patients were between 20 - 25 years old, 61.1% had a history of induced abortions, followed by pelvic inflammatory disease in 44.4%. The mean surgical time was 36 minutes. No patient had bleeding at the surgery site. The beta fraction of chorionic gonadotropin was negative at the fourth week and postoperative ultrasound controls of all patients were normal on day 15. The drawstring suture was used in all patients. Conclusions: The results in the treatment of the patients attended for interstitial pregnancy were favorable, the repair of the uterine wall was carried out by means of a safe procedure that showed the applicability of the drawstring suture. Blood loss and complications such as hysterectomy were avoided.
