Abstract
Sterilization is the most safe and common method of contraception. Failure rate is referred to 0.13-1.5%, and in this case, the risk of ectopic pregnancy is high. We describe a case of a ruptured tubal pregnancy, following ten months after bilateral tubal ligation. The patient was treated with urgent laparotomy and removal of right salpinx with the fetus.
Keywords: ectopic pregnancy, sterilization, tubal ligation
