Fimbrial Ectopic Pregnancy Following Tubal Anastomosis

Abstract

The incidence of ectopic pregnancy in the general population is approximately 1%. This risk increases to 5% following tubal anastomosis. Ectopic pregnancy may cause life-threatening hemorrhage. Morbidity and mortality associated with an extrauterine pregnancy are directly related to the length of time required for diagnosis and treatment. Laparoscopy is the gold standard for surgical management in these cases. This report deals with the case of a rare form of ectopic pregnancy following tubal anastomosis.
