- Abstract:
- Because of an incomplete tubal abortion, salpingectomy was performed in a patient 12 days after glucose instillation into an ampullary tubal gestation. Serum hCG levels had progressively declined from 1.122 mIU/mL at first intervention to 37 mIU/mL at the second operation. Histopathology showed marked necrosis of trophoblastic tissue but no discernible damage of the tubal epithelium and tubal wall attributable to the hyperosmolar solution applied 12 days before. This case offers histopathologic evidence that intraluminal glucose instillation for treatment of unruptured tubal pregnancies does not lead to persisting damage of the tubal mucosa.
