A case of seven recurrent ectopic pregnancies.

If a woman with previous ectopic pregnancy ever gets pregnant again, the risk of a repeat ectopic pregnancy is said to be 4-fold. We present a rare case of 7 recurrent ectopic pregnancies in a 39-year-old Saudi woman, together with a literature review of the reproductive performance after recurrent ectopic pregnancy.

Transabdominal cervicoisthmic cerclage after multiple failed vaginal cerclages.

Cervical incompetence is a condition traditionally treated by cervical cerclage. We describe a patient who had 6 failed cervical cerclages and who was treated with transabdominal cervicoisthmic cerclage. There were no intra-operative or post-operative complications and the patient was regularly reviewed in the antenatal clinic by a senior physician and with a series of transvaginal ultrasounds.
