Arrested tubal pregnancy
Abstract
This communication presents a small series of patients operated on for tubal occlusion resulting from undiagnosed tubal pregnancy. In three of the five patients, tubotubal anastomosis after the resection of the affected tubal segment was performed on a single tube. Two of these three patients achieved viable pregnancies. This fact supports the value of reconstructive tubal microsurgery in arrested tubal pregnancy. The histopathologic findings suggest that chorionic villi are capable of surviving in a recognizable form for at least 15 months after the demise of the tubal pregnancy.
