Abstract

Cornual pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy. Its incidence is 2-4% of all tubal pregnancy. Cornual pregnancy is relatively rare in the woman who has the history of ipsilateral salpingectomy. The standard treatment of cornual pregnancy was cornual resection or hysterectomy through laparotomy. Recently, pelviscopic cornual resection has been performed with the advance of technique and instruments. We performed 2-port pelviscopy using a multichannel port in the case of ipsilateral ruptured cornual pregnancy after salpingectomy for tubal pregnancy. This method was relative safe and easy and offers the advantages in reduced surgical morbidity, less bleeding and less operation time. Therefore, we present a case of ipsilateral cornual pregnancy after salpingectomy that surgically treated under 2-port pelviscopy with a brief review of literature.
