Abstract

---

Pregnancy after hysterectomy is one of the most uncommon conditions in modern medicine. Since the first reported case in 1895, there have been merely 40 cases described. Post-hysterectomy pregnancy diagnosis is not often entertained due to its unusualness which leads to delayed remedy and in some cases, life-threatening or catastrophic conditions. In this article, a case of a 40-year-old multigravida woman having a pregnancy in the left fallopian tube 3 years after a supra-cervical hysterectomy at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital was described. The patient underwent a successful laparoscopic intervention and was discharged after 3 days of postoperation. A brief review of literature is also discussed.
