About

Cornual pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that accounts for 2% to 4% of ectopic pregnancies, with a mortality rate between 2.0% and 2.5%. Traditionally, interstitial pregnancies were treated by laparotomy with cornial resection or hysterectomy. However, nowadays, increasingly interstitial pregnancies are treated by laparoscopic cranial resection.

Although this technique can potentially protect the fertility of the patient, it carries a serious risk of bleeding and requires a surgical experience.
