Heterotopic Pregnancy cases are on the rise in the era of Artificial Reproductive Techniques and managing these pregnancies can be challenging especially in safeguarding the precious intrauterine pregnancy. These were traditionally managed by laparotomy and there are few cases reported wherein salpingectomy is done laparoscopically. We would like to report this case of a 7 weeks intrauterine pregnancy with 5 weeks tubal ectopic treated by laparoscopic salpingectomy under spinal anaesthesia while safeguarding the intrauterine viable gestation. In the light of increased incidence of abnormal implantations and growing demand and expertise of minimally invasive surgeries, laparoscopy is the treatment of choice for heterotopic pregnancies, especially in the interest of the intrauterine pregnancy.
Turner syndrome is one of the common chromosomal aberrations which manifests in a female as multiple phenotypic disorders usually presenting as a case of primary amenorrhea. Many of these patients display mosaicism on karyotyping and a presence of Y chromosomal material indicates high risk of gonadoblastoma and gonadectomy is indicated which is best achieved by laparoscopy. This is a case of 21-year-old female phenotype referred as a case of primary amenorrhea diagnosed as Turner syndrome with 46XY mosaicism. Laparoscopic bilateral salpingoophorectomy was done. In patients of primary amenorrhea karyotyping should be evaluated and if Y chromosome detected these patients should be subjected to gonadectomy after proper risk counselling about malignancy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
