Operative hysteroscopy in the minimally invasive management of interstitial pregnancy and interstitially retained products of conception: a case report and systematic literature review

An interstitial ectopic pregnancy is defined as a gestation where implantation occurs in the intramural part of the fallopian tube, surrounded by myometrium. They comprise 2 – 4% of all tubal pregnancies [1–4]. Even though the terms are often used interchangeably, it is important to distinguish an interstitial pregnancy from a cornual and an angular pregnancy [1,2]. The term cornual pregnancy refers to a pregnancy in a rudimentary horn or within one horn of a septat e or uni- or bicornuate uterus.
