Objective: To examine the feasibility of laparoscopic cornual resection for the treatment of heterotopic cornual pregnancy.
Study Design: Women who underwent laparoscopic cornual resection for heterotopic cornual pregnancy at our hospital between January 2003 and March 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. We evaluated significant parameters such as operative complications and postoperative pregnancy outcomes of concomitant pregnancy.
Results: Thirteen patients with heterotopic cornual pregnancy were included in the study. All were pregnant through assisted reproductive technology, and the diagnosis was made at a median of 6+6 weeks (range 5+4-10+0). They were successfully treated with laparoscopic cornual resection and admitted for a median of 4 days (range, 2-7) postoperatively. The median operative time was 65min (range, 35-145min) and estimated blood loss was 200mL (range, 10-3000mL). There was a spontaneous abortion at 7+6 gestational weeks in a patient who received bilateral cornual resection. Seven patients delivered babies at term and 3 at preterm. All 10 women delivered without any maternal or neonatal complications. Two were lost to follow-up.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic cornual resection is a feasible primary approach for the management of heterotopic cornual pregnancy.

Cornual pregnancy, a rare and life-threatening form of ectopic pregnancy, poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its deep implantation in the uterus. This report presents a case of a 31-year-old woman with a history of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and prior salpingectomy, who was diagnosed with a right cornual pregnancy following embryo transfer. The patient experienced lower abdominal pain and was found to have an enlarged uterus on ultrasonography.

Article Synopsis
- - A rare case of right interstitial pregnancy occurred in a 32-year-old woman who had previously undergone a salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to an emergency room visit due to suspected ectopic pregnancy.
- - After various diagnostic procedures, including ultrasound and hysteroscopy, the patient underwent a successful robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery to remove the interstitial pregnancy while preserving her fertility.
- - The exact cause of this rare pregnancy is unclear, but it may involve fertilization in the intact tube and possible changes in the remaining tubal tissue that allowed the oocyte to implant.

Background: Fortunately, interstitial pregnancies are a rare early pregnancy presentation, yet they can be challenging to managed and are associated with a high risk of intra-abdominal haemorrhage. Once detected, surgical laparoscopic resection can be the preferred management method for both patient safety and for definitive treatment.
Objective: The video presents a new technique for laparoscopic resection of an interstitial pregnancy which enables the procedure to be effectively bloodless.

Article Synopsis
- - Interstitial pregnancy is a rare but serious condition with a higher mortality rate compared to other ectopic pregnancies.
- - A 38-year-old woman presented with hemorrhagic shock and was found to have a ruptured left interstitial ectopic pregnancy after undergoing an emergency laparotomy.
- - Early detection using advanced imaging techniques and timely management are crucial to prevent severe complications associated with interstitial pregnancies.

Objectives: Heterotopic pregnancy of an intrauterine pregnancy and an interstitial or stump pregnancy after bilateral salpingectomy is a rare complication of in vitro fertilization (IVF) that can lead to severe hemorrhage; prompt identification and management are important. The aim of this paper was to present a case report and an updated literature review of women who had had combined interstitial/stump and intrauterine pregnancies during an in an IVF cycle after total bilateral salpingectomy.
Material And Methods: We conducted a search in PubMed for reported heterotopic pregnancy, of a combined intrauterine pregnancy with an interstitial or stump pregnancy, in women who underwent IVF after bilateral salpingectomy.
