[2 intrauterine pregnancies after 2 tubal pregnancies]

A woman with two intrauterine pregnancies after two ectopic tubal pregnancies is presented. The first operation removed the left Fallopian tube (on 4 November 1970), while during the recurrent ectopic pregnancy, plastic surgery was applied in the remaining right tube (24 October 1972) with the enucleation of the fertilized egg after Prochownik's method. The patient became pregnant 3 months after the operation and had spontaneous abortion, with a fetus two-and-a half months old; the second time she became pregnant 17 months after the operation and gave birth to a female live-born, 26 days before the term, weighing 2,900 g and 49 cm high. The authors conclude that best results are obtained when the plastic surgery made in the fallopian tube is as small as possible and when postoperative instillation of the tubes is applied.
