title: Laparoscopic management of transcervical fallopian tube prolapse.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Fallopian tube prolapse (FTP) is a rare but increasingly recognized postoperative complication of total hysterectomy, but few reports relate FTP to supracervical hysterectomy.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 35-year-old, G2P2, patient with a history of recurrent fibroid prolapse  received a supracervical hysterectomy. One week postoperatively, she was treated for infection, and 1 month later a scheduled Pap smear returned benign results and noted a rare cluster of glandular cells. Two months after the hysterectomy, the patient presented to the outpatient clinic with  vaginal discharge and dyspareunia. The patient was diagnosed with FTP and was treated with total salpingectomy using a combined vaginal and laparoscopic approach.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Transcervical FTP is a rare complication following supracervical hysterectomy. Increasing awareness of the  condition will allow for fewer delays in diagnosis and treatment. A laparoscopic total salpingectomy provides effective treatment with minimal invasiveness.
