  • Title: [Remnant portion of the tube in ectopic pregnancy: review and report of a case].
    Author: Maia Filho NL, Mathias L, Hiar J.
    Journal: Rev Paul Med; 1991; 109(5):232-6. PubMed ID: 1821069.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: After a review of the literature, to establish what the best treatment is to treat interstitial portion in ectopic gestations. TYPE OF STUDY: Review and report of a case. SITE: Specialized Clinics Hospital of Franco da Rocha of the School of Medicine of Jundiaí. PATIENTS: One patient of the School Hospital. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Review and clinical observation. CONCLUSIONS: The authors present a case of an exceptional ectopic gestation with a remnant portion of the tube seen at the Hospital above, with absent contralateral ovary. They discuss the etiologic factors of the ectopic gestation with contralateral corpus luteum, and suggest the possibility of internal transmigration in the case presented. They comment on the clinical severity, as the area is highly vascularized, and they also comment of the diagnosis difficulties if gestation proceeds. They discuss the treatment for ectopic gestation in general and the possible prophylactic ways of dealing with the remnant portion of the tube in ectopic gestation. They conclude that randomized studies are needed to find out what the best treatment is for the interstitial portion during salpingectomy due to ectopic gestation.
