The condition of tubal ectopic pregnancy is presented from diverse points of view, bringing out physiological explanations for its occurrence in primates and striking absence in other mammals. Part of the flexibility underlying ectopic pregnancy in humans stems from the absence of a uterine luteolytic mechanism, enabling early embryonic development in the Fallopian tube without compromising fun...

The incidence of ectopic pregnancy in the general population is approximately 1%. This risk increases to 5% following tubal anastomosis. Ectopic pregnancy may cause life-threatening hemorrhage. Morbidity and mortality associated with an extrauterine pregnancy are directly related to the length of time required for diagnosis and treatment. Laparoscopy is the gold standard for surgical managemen...

Here a case is presented where the woman after a positive pregnancy test underwent medical abortion for unwanted pregnancy without ultrasound confirmation of intrauterine pregnancy. On persistence of symptoms, a second opinion was procured, when examination and a transvaginal ultrasound scan revealed ruptured unilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy. However upon subsequent laparotomy (considering de...

The measurement of tubal perfusion pressures (TPP) is a recent advance in the field of gynaecoradiology. Measurement of TPP involves a standardized technique using transcervically placed tubal catheters which is reviewed in detail. TPP assesses the functional status of the Fallopian tubes, i.e. their ability to permit pregnancy. Infertile patients with normal TPP demonstrated a higher pregnancy...

we report a case of a woman presenting in a state of shock with classic symptoms of ruptured ectopic pregnancy. she had a history of tubal ligation done three years back. exploratory laparotomy was done, and a diagnosis of ruptured ectopic ovarian pregnancy was made.

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the cause of infertility and impairment of tubal reproductive functions in infertility patients, who suffered tubal pregnancy after conservative treatment, using laparoscopy, hysteroscopic tubal catheterization, and hydrotubation. METHODS Seventy-five infertility patients treated for tubal pregnancies were divided into two groups based on past treatment methods of their tub...

Objective Tubal sterilization is a widespread method of contraception. Post-sterilization regret is encountered, despite careful consideration prior to the procedure. Two treatment options are available for women after having had tubal sterilization: microsurgical reversal and IVF treatment. Recent improvements in laparoscopy have allowed tubal reanastomosis to be performed. This study aimed to...
