Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) refers to the coexistence of ectopic pregnancy and intrauterine pregnancy. Salpingectomy is proposed as a pretreatment before in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) to reduce the risk of HP. HP after IVF-ET occurs in women who had already underwent bilateral salpingectomy, even though it is extremely rare.
