title: Uterine rupture following conservative surgery for interstitial pregnancy.
abstract: A case of uterine rupture following conservative surgery for interstitial pregnancy is presented. Even though the uterine cavity was not opened during removal of the ectopic pregnancy, attenuation of the muscle lead to subsequent rupture of the uterus in the second trimester. The option for medical termination of ectopic pregnancies located in the cornual portion of tubes is discussed.
