Ectopic pregnancy in unrepaired distal tubal remnant after contralateral tubal anastomosis.
A case is described in which, after a tubal sterilization procedure and subsequent unilateral tubal anastomosis, an ectopic gestation occurred in the contralateral, unrepaired, distal tubal segment. On the basis of this case and related evidence, the authors suggest that in cases in which only a unilateral tubal anastomosis is possible, strong consideration should be given to removal of the contralateral, unrepaired, distal tubal remnant.
