Abstract
Twelve out of 1476 pregnancies 081 were diagnosed for HP of which nine patients elected for exploratory salpingectomy two patients received selective fetal reduction by embryo aspiration under ultrasound guidance and one patient opted for expectant treatment Postoperatively four intrauterine pregnancies were continued to develop until term while two were delivered at 35 weeks of gestation The achievement ratio of continuous pregnancy was 667 6/9The incidence of HP is increasing due to the widespread use of assisted reproductive technology An early transvaginal sonography performed by experienced radiologist/radiographer is considered to be essential and beneficial in establishing early diagnosis of HP Both salpingectomy and selective fetal reduction by embryo aspiration can be administered as one of the effective therapies for HP with the optimal outcome of intrauterine pregnancy
