Abstract
ABSTRACT
The surgical management of cornual ectopic pregnancies carries a greater risk of hemorrhage than management of other tubal pregnancies. Wedge resection and hysterectomy are still accepted treatment modalities. We present a case of a cornual pregnancy following in vitro fertilization in which a uterine tourniquet and vasopressin, similar to that used in myomectomies, was used to help promote a bloodless procedure. In the treatment of cornual ectopic pregnancies, a uterine tourniquet in addition to vasopressin may allow for more conservative surgical procedures, with decreased blood loss.
