Abstract

Although the incidence of ectopic pregnancy is on the rise, ovarian pregnancy after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer is a rare entity. Here, we report a case of unruptured ovarian pregnancy following in-vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection, which was treated by conservative laparoscopic surgery.

Keywords: Conservative laparoscopic surgery; ectopic pregnancy; secondary ovarian pregnancy; wedge resection of ovary.
