The incidence of cervical pregnancy and the number of combined intrauterine pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy seems to be increasing. So the possibility of heterotopic pregnancy should always be considered by every gynecologist, especially those who treat infertility problem. We experience a case of a heterotopic pregnancy coexisting of an intrauterine pregnancy and a cervical pregnancy after in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, and was successfully managed by transcervical evacuation and resulted in a normal intrauterine pregnancy. Here we present the case with review of literatures.

A complete hydatidiform mole coexisting with a fetus is a rare condition, particularly when diagnosed after IVF-ET. In spite of the wide spread use of assisted reproductive technology, there have been, to our knowledge, only few reported cases of molar pregnancy after IVF-ET. At present, there are limited data to guide the antenatal management of a complete hydatidiform mole coexisting with fetuses. A complete mole can coexist with a normal, healthy fetus who can be carried to term, with good outcome. But, patients who desire to continue the pregnancy after such a diagnosis must be cautioned about the potential for severe medical complications and developing persistent gestational trophoblastic tumor. We report here a case of complete hydatidiform mole in a triplet pregnancy coexistent with two live fetuses following in IVF-ET.

Infectious complications such as wound infection and intra-abdominal abscess are rarely fatal, but perplexing to both patients and surgeons, and still remain asserious problem after appendectomy in about 5% of the patients. To be helpful to reduce post-appendectomy complications, authors retrospectively analyzed 229 cases of appendectomy performed during the period of one year, from January 1 through December 31, 1995, to find out contributing factors to the post-appendectomy infectious complications such as wound infection or intra-abdominal abscess. The results were as follows. 1) Infectious complications are more common in patients with four or more days of symptom. 2) Infectious complications are more common in patients with complicated appendicitis such as gangrenous or perforated appendicitis. 3) Preoperative antibiotics are helpful to prevent infectious complications in cases of complicated appendicitis. 4) There is no difference in the incidence of infectious complications between the immediate operations and overnight delayed operations in patients who were admitted in the late evening or at night. 5) There is no difference in the incidence of infectious complications between operators: staff surgeons who exclusively operated on patients with complicated appendicitis and residents(with or without supervision of staff surgeons) who mostly operated on patients with simple appendicitis. This means technical superiority has its role in preventing infectious complications. Early diagnosis and operation before the gangrenous change or perforation are warranted. Preoperative antibiotics are effective in cases of complicated appendicitis, but not in cases of simple appendicitis. But the lack of objective criteria to decide complicated appendicitis before the operation remains problem, and prospective study to solve this problem is needed. Technical perfectness is required to protect the wound and to remove the appendix without contamination. Preventive measures are also important to prevent the infectious complications in cases of inevitably contaminated wounds or inta-abdominal spaces.
