Cheung\nBACKGROUND:\nFallopian tube prolapse is an unusual but often reported complication after hysterectomy. This problem has not yet been reported in a patient undergoing laparoscopy but not hysterectomy.\nCASE:\nFallopian tube prolapse was diagnosed in a patient after laparoscopic excision of pelvic endometriosis, without hysterectomy. The prolapsed fallopian tube was preserved by laparoscopic retrieval from the vagina and closure of the vaginoperitoneal fistula.\nCONCLUSION:\nLaparoscopic surgery, when associated with the creation of a vaginoperitoneal fistula, is a risk factor for fallopian tube prolapse. This problem can be diagnosed and safely managed with a laparoscopic approach.\nA case of laparoscopic management of fallopian tube prolapse after laparoscopic resection of pelvic endometriosis is reported.\nCopyright © 2005 The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
