Abstract Ectopic pregnancy is a well‐recognized complication of tubal reanastomosis (Young PE, Egan JE, Barlow JJ: Reconstructive surgery for infertility at the Boston Hospital for Women. Am J Obstet Gynecol 108: 1092. 1970 and Hodari AA, Vibhasiri A, Isaac AY: Reconstructive tubal surgery for midtubal obstruction. Fertil Steril 28: 620, 1977). We describe here, however, a case of tubal pregnancy occurring in a tubal remnant on the opposite side to a successful tubocornual reanastomosis.
