Abstract:
Abdominal pregnancy is a very rare and life threatening varient of ectopic pregnancy with high maternal mortality and perinatal mortality. A 26-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 0, abortion 2, visited our emergency department for amenorrhea for 11 weeks and lower abdominal pain. Diagnostic transvaginal ultrasonographic finding suggested ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Serum Hemoglobin level was 8.1 mg/dL, and Hematocrit value was 25.2%. On laparatomy about 2.000 mL of blood was filled in the abdomen and severe adhesion was found on right adnexa, posterior cul-de-sac and omentum. A live fetus was attached to uterus. After adhesiolysis, we removed conceptus from uterine surface. We performed subtotal hysterectomy and excised right fallopian tube. 10 pints of packed red blood cell and 3 pints of fresh frozen plasma were given to the patient during and after the operation. Patient recovered postoperatively without any complications and discharged at postoperative seventh day. We experienced a case of first trimester secondary abdominal pregnancy after tubal reanastomosis and reported it with brief of a literature review.
