Abstract

Objective: To describe the first vaginal approach to an ectopic pregnancy after hysterectomy.

Design: Case report.

Setting: Private hospital.

Patient(s): A 38-year-old woman presenting with an ectopic pregnancy 5 months after having a vaginal hysterectomy due to uterine myomatosis.

Intervention(s): Vaginal adnexectomy.

Main outcome measure(s): Vaginal surgery as a plausible approach for this very particular situation (ectopic pregnancy in hysterectomized patient).

Result(s): After vaginal surgery with removal of the left tube (containing a gestacional sac) and ovary, the patient fully recovered.

Conclusion(s): Vaginal surgery can be a safe option for ectopic pregnancy resolution in noncomplicated cases.
