Abstract
Study Objective
Demonstrate safety and feasibility of laparoscopic resection of a 13-week ectopic pregnancy in a non-communicating uterine horn.
Design
Educational video
Setting
Academic medical center
Patients or Participants
47 year-old G2P1001 (term vaginal delivery) at 12w6d presenting with ectopic pregnancy of non-communicating uterine horn. This was an undesired pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy in non-communicating uterine horn discovered after unsuccessful dilation & curettage under ultrasound guidance. MRI confirmed diagnosis. Of note, patient had lifelong history of dysmenorrhea.
Interventions
Laparoscopic resection of gravid non-communicating uterine horn, salpingectomy
Measurements and Primary Results
N/A
Conclusion
Laparoscopic resection of ectopic pregnancy in a non-communicating uterine horn is safe and feasible, even in a later 13-week gestation.
