  • Title: Rupture of a uterine horn after laparoscopic salpingectomy. A case report.
    Author: Ayoubi JM, Fanchin R, Lesourd F, Parant O, Reme JM, Monrozies X.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 2003 Apr; 48(4):290-2. PubMed ID: 12746995.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Uterine rupture after salpingectomy, especially associated with cornual resection, is a rare, serious pregnancy complication. CASE: A spontaneous uterine rupture occurred during the second trimester of pregnancy, following salpingectomy with resection of the interstitial portion. Conservative treatment was performed, and fertility was preserved. CONCLUSION: Postsalpingectomy pregnancies must be carefully and frequently monitored, with ultrasonography used at the slightest clinical symptom. A postsalpingectomy rupture must be treated surgically, preferably with conservative treatment rather than hysterectomy.
