Ipsilateral ectopic pregnancy in the distal remaining part of the previously removed Fallopian tube: a case report
Caution should be taken when dealing with any woman in the reproductive age group who presents with acute abdomen, especially if she has a previous history of ectopic pregnancy, to exclude the possibility of recurrent ectopic pregnancy. Previous salpingectomy does not exclude the possibility of recurrent ectopic pregnancy on the ipsilateral side, as the inappropriate surgical technique used during salpingectomy can affect the possibility of recurrence. We suggest that careful clinical consideration of the surgical technique used during salpingectomy is essential to minimize the risk of recurrent ectopic pregnancies and prevent serious complications.
