“…1,4 The other theory is that an embryo coming from the normal contralateral fallopian tube implants in the tubal stump. 5,6 In this case, we could not see any foramen on the tubal stump, and hence the latter theory is applicable.…”

The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is approximately 1.3–2% of all pregnancies, and more than 90% of ectopic pregnancies are detected in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. Ectopic pregnancy occurring in tubal stump after tubectomy is extremely rare, and the frequency of tubal stump pregnancy is approximately 0.4% of all pregnancies. We report one of these rare cases of ectopic pregnancy in a 26-year-old Japanese woman, gravida 4, parity 1. She had undergone laparoscopic tubectomy because of a tubal pregnancy two years ago. She was presented to our hospital with a positive pregnancy test, but no gestational sac was detected in the uterus by echography, even though the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the blood was elevated to 8,900 mIU/mL. Laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy was performed. During surgery, the position of the pregnancy was found to be in the tubal stump, where tubectomy had already been performed, and the gestational sac was successfully removed. After the surgery, the condition of the patient uneventfully improved and she was discharged from the hospital three days after the surgery. The diagnosis of tubal stump pregnancy is more difficult than that of the more common positions of an ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube, and so it is more important to carefully examine the patients with suspected ectopic pregnancy. Laparoscopic surgery is one of the options for tubal stump pregnancy if diagnosed early and if the condition of the patient is stable.

“…3 There are also numerous cases of ipsilateral stump pregnancies after salpingectomy following laparoscopic management of ectopic pregnancy. [4][5][6] In view of this risk, total salpingectomy with resection of the interstitial portion of the tube is recommended to prevent implantation in the interstitial stump. 7 However in some cases, particularly following the use of the endoloop, this principle is not necessarily followed, leaving a stump with resulting higher risk for future interstitial pregnancy.…”

Background: Cornual uterine rupture is a serious condition with grave implications if it is not recognized and managed in time. Although different approaches have been used for immediate management, the long-term complication of uterine rupture following management of interstitial pregnancy has not been extensively studied. Case: This article reports an unusual case of recurrent uterine rupture after laparoscopic treatment of interstitial pregnancy. Results: The patient subsequently had a successful pregnancy. Conclusions: Although laparoscopic treatment achieves optimum results in interstitial pregnancies, more emphasis needs to be placed on techniques to preserve future fertility and prevent uterine rupture.

Background: Cornual uterine rupture is a serious condition with grave implications if not recognized and managed in time. While different approaches have been used for immediate management, the long-term complication of uterine rupture following management of interstitial pregnancy has not been extensively studied. Case: This article reports an unusual case of recurrent uterine rupture after laparoscopic treatment of interstitial pregnancy followed by a successful pregnancy. Results: The interstitial region healed well and the subsequent pregnancy. This patient underwent an elective cesearan section at 32 weeks' gestation and had a live birth. Conclusions: Although laparoscopic treatment achieves optimum results in interstitial pregnancies, more emphasis needs to be laid on techniques to preserve future fertility and prevent uterine rupture.
