W003 Right Ampullary Ectopic Pregnancy Following Bilateral Tubal Ligation Using Spring Clips

Abstract

Pregnancy is unlikely to occur in women who have undergone sterilization. However when it occurs, there is a substantial risk that it will be an ectopic pregnancy. We report a case of right unruptured ampullary ectopic gestation following tubal sterilization with spring clips 6 years prior to presentation. The likely aetiology may be spontaneous reanastomosis.
