“…Three theories have been developed. The first proposes that contralateral fertilization occurred and the fertilized egg migrated across the endometrial cavity to the fallopian tube remnant [7] . The second suggests that in spite of a salpingectomy being performed, recanalization may occur due to inadequate diathermy allowing for passage of the ovum on the damaged side into the tubal remnant [8] .…”

HighlightsThis is the first reported case in the literature describing a recurrent ectopic pregnancy with a fetal heartbeat after ipsilateral salpingectomy that led to tubal rupture.Although exceptionally rare, recurrent ectopic pregnancy may occur after ipsilateral salpingectomy.Physicians should be aware that ectopic pregnancies may not only occur repeatedly but may also present atypically.We recommend when performing a salpingectomy that efforts be undertaken to minimize the length of the tubal remnant and to assure adequate coagulation of tissue so as to reduce the risk of recurrence.

“…Another, in our vision, more plausible explanation for our case is that this recurrent ectopic pregnancy was conceived following passage of spermatozoa through the intact right fallopian tube and the pouch of Douglas to the distal remnant of the left fallopian tube where the oocyt was present. The final option is transperitoneal embryo migration [6].…”

Ampullar ectopic pregnancy following ipsilateral partial isthmic salpingectomy

2014

The study is about ampullar ectopic pregnancy following ipsilateral partial isthmic salpingectomy. An ectopic pregnancy is any pregnancy outside of the uterine cavity. Pregnancies in the fallopian tube account for 97 % of all ectopic pregnancies. Fifty-five percent of these pregnancies occur in the ampulla, 25 % in the isthmus, 17 % in the fimbriae, and 3 % of the pregnancy is situated in the abdominal cavity, ovary, or uterine cervix. Diagnosing an ectopic pregnancy can be difficult; however, the widespread availability of pregnancy tests and the present high-resolution ultrasound possibilities have resulted in earlier diagnosis and have thus reduced the chance of massive intraabdominal bleeding and hypovolemic shock at presentation. We present a rare case of a recurrent ectopic pregnancy, occuring in the distal remnant of the ampulla of the fallopian tube, after a previous partial ipsilateral salpingectomy. This case shows that a strict adherence to the Dutch guideline would probably have led to an earlier detection.
