description | We present two cases of ectopic pregnancy located within the remnant tube following ipsilateral salpingectomy.

It demonstrates that salpingectomy does not exclude ectopic pregnancy on the ipsilateral side. We suggest careful clinical consideration and bring attention to the current surgical technique. |
