Abstract

The authors presented a documented case of spontaneous heterotopic pregnancy (uterine in combination with ruptured left tubal pregnancy). A laparoscopic tubectomy was performed. The uterine pregnancy progressed and finalized in time with the birth of a healthy child through the natural genital tract. A review of the literature on the diagnostic features and surgical treatment of heterotopic pregnancy is presented.
