Spontaneous ectopic pregnancy occurring in the isthmic portion of the remnant tube after ipsilateral adnexectomy: report of two cases
Abstract
Two cases of spontaneous ectopic pregnancy occurring in the isthmic portion of the remnant tube after previous ipsilateral adnexectomy are presented. Laparoscopic observation and postoperative histopathological examination suggested intrauterine transmigration of the fertilized egg as the etiology. Laparoscopic excision of the remnant tube was performed and the postoperative course was uneventful in both cases. Attention should be paid to this unusual type of ectopic pregnancy while examining patients with previous history of adnexal surgery.
