The presence of a damaged tube has been suggested in recent studies to have
a negative effect on in-vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome. Performing
bilateral salpingectomy prior to IVF to maximize pregnancy rates may also
result in unnecessary surgery. This case is also an example of the
occurrence of interstitial pregnancy after salpingectomy. This unusual type
of ectopic pregnancy must be kept in mind when evaluating a patient
suspected of a possible early abnormal gestation after assisted
reproductive technolologies.
