Ruptured secondary abdominal pregnancy after primary laparoscopic treatment for tubal pregnancy

Abstract

Introduction:Most secondary abdominal pregnancies happen after spontaneous abortion of tubal pregnancy or ruptured intrauterine pregnancy. However, we presented a case of ruptured secondary abdominal pregnancy after primary laparoscopic treatment of tubal pregnancy.Case report:The ectopic pregnant lesion in the affected tube was thoroughly removed in the primary laparoscopy, and nothing abnormal was detected in abdomen or pelvis. Beta human chorionic gonadotropin levels dropped significantly after surgery, but the patient came back again for severe abdominal pain with beta human chorionic gonadotropin increasing, and free peritoneal fluid in the pouch of Douglas was detected at ultrasonography. The secondary laparoscopy was done according to the intraperitoneal hemorrhage and unstable vital signs. The secondary pregnancy was found ruptured in the splenic flexure of the colon. Although several cases of secondary abdominal pregnancies were reported in the literature, herein we describe a case secondary to the salpingotomy of the primary tubal pregnancy.Conclusion:After surgery for ectopic pregnancy, the patient's serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin levels should be closely followed until negative. When persistent ectopic pregnancy was suspected after surgery, physicians should keep in mind a rare possibility of secondary abdominal pregnancy.

Polymorphism of Uncoupling Protein 2 (UCP2) Gene in Obes People with the Family History of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

“…Previous studies have shown that human islet with GA genotype UCP2-866 polymorphism has decreased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion compared with GG. However, the path between the UCP2 polymorphism and the HOMA index has not been clearly described [19].…”

Ectopic abdominal pregnancy on the ascending colon

“…After successful management, the values of βHCG should be followed closely until it becomes undetectable. Secondary ectopic pregnancy should be suspected in cases of persistent elevation 15 …”

“…2 Table 1 shows the reported cases of ectopic pregnancy with primary colonic implantation. With only two documented cases on the splenic and hepatic flexures of the colon, 5,15 this case is the first one documenting abdominal pregnancy on the ascending colon. Interestingly, implantation on the sigmoid colon was seen in 10 cases (77%), whereas other locations constituted the remaining 23%.…”
