  • Title: Ruptured ectopic pregnancy after bilateral tubal ligation.
    Author: Thelin TJ, Van Nagell JR.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1972 Apr; 39(4):589-90. PubMed ID: 5018902.
    Abstract:
    Two ruptured ectopic pregnancies occurred after Pomeroy tubal ligation. Culdocentesis on both yielded 10 ml of non-clotting blood. After resection and confirmation of decidua and chorionic villi, the patients were discharged on the fifth and seventh day. About 6-7% of maternal mortality in the US is attributed to ruptured ectopic pregnancy and 25% of Pomeroy method failures are estimated to result in ectopic pregnancy.
