Ectopic pregnancy laparoscopic sequelae

The main sequelae of laparoscopic tubal preservation surgery for ectopic pregnancy in clinical practice are tubal incompetence, tubal incompetence or complete tubal obstruction, which may lead to recurrence of ectopic pregnancy later in life. It may also cause postoperative infection and lead to adhesions in the surrounding tissues, such as adhesions in the pelvic or uterine cavity, which in turn may lead to scanty menstruation, chronic pelvic pain, contralateral tubal inflammation or obstruction, and ovulation disorders, leading to possible postoperative infertility. Therefore, in patients with ectopic pregnancy, if the contralateral fallopian tube is normal in appearance, it is recommended to remove the affected tube. Therefore, for these sequelae, the patient should be informed before surgery and the correct choice should be made between conservative or resection of the fallopian tube. After surgery, it is important to pay attention to rest, personal hygiene, nutrition and not to have intercourse and bathing in the first month after surgery to avoid postoperative infection. It is also important to consider pregnancy one year after ectopic pregnancy and not to get pregnant too early.
