Managing Rare Postoperative Complications in Cornual Heterotopic Pregnancy: Two Case Reports.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate complications following laparoscopic cornuostomy or cornual repair in the management of cornual heterotopic pregnancy (CHP), and to assess the feasibility of repeat surgical interventions without compromising intrauterine pregnancy outcomes. Methods: We conducted a case-based review involving two patients diagnosed with CHP following assisted reproductive technology (frozen embryo transfer and IVF). Both underwent initial laparoscopic cornuostomy or cornual repair, with postoperative complications managed through further interventions. Diagnostic tools, surgical approaches, and pregnancy outcomes were analyzed. Results: In the first case, a 28-year-old woman developed a uterine arteriovenous fistula (AVF) after laparoscopic cornuostomy, detected by transvaginal ultrasound. Open AVF repair at 13 weeks under lumbar anesthesia resulted in a live birth at 32+ weeks. In the second case, a 30-year-old woman required laparotomy at 15+ weeks for removal of residual ectopic tissue after laparoscopic cornual repair; she subsequently delivered at term. Both cases demonstrated that repeat surgeries, including open procedures, can be safely performed without compromising ongoing intrauterine pregnancies. Conclusion: Minimally invasive surgery is effective for CHP, but complications such as AVF and persistent ectopic tissue can arise and require timely reintervention. Transvaginal ultrasonography is essential for early detection. With multidisciplinary care and careful surgical planning, even repeat open surgeries can result in favorable maternal and fetal outcomes.
