title: [Tubal pregnancy after vaginal hysterectomy].
abstract: We report a case of woman who was admitted to the hospital for evaluation of abdominal pain, five years after a vaginal hysterectomy. Exploratory laparotomy was performed and tubal pregnancy found. A review of the literature reveals similar complications following supracervical and total or vaginal hysterectomy: it is a rare event and the common aspect of all cases is the inability to accurately diagnose before laparotomy.
