Case Description
27 years, G3P1A1 was diagnosed as ruptured ectopic pregnancy in emergency department. She underwent emergency laparotomy with right salpingectomy and abdominal drain was kept on left side through separate incision.
On her fifth postoperative day, despite multiple attempts the drain couldn’t be removed. Ultrasound revealed drain tube in the peritoneal cavity with the minimal interloop ascites. In view of stuck drain, surgery was planned to release the stuck drain tube. After skin incision of about 5cm, peritoneum was opened and, the drain tube was exposed. The left fallopian tube was found to be anchored inside the drain tube with the fallopian tube entering from one eye and exiting through adjacent eye. The drain was cut longitudinally from one eye to another and the stuck left fallopian tube was carefully removed. The fallopian tube was pink and healthy. The drain was removed and abdomen was closed. Patient was stable postoperatively.
