Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy following Assisted Reproductive Technology: A Case Report

Recurrent ectopic pregnancy following ipsilateral partial salpingectomy.

An unusual case of a second ipsilateral ectopic pregnancy following a partial (proximal) salpingectomy for ectopic gestation is presented in a 32-year-old woman with a history of secondary infertility.

Fimbrial Ectopic Pregnancy Following Tubal Anastomosis

Morbidity and mortality associated with an extrauterine pregnancy are directly related to the length of time required for diagnosis and treatment.
