In the 20 patients who had the symptoms, reimplantation occurred from<br />five weeks to ten weeks. This showed chorionic tissue to be very adaptable in relocating on various sites. The new placental sites comprise the peritoneum, fallopian tube, ovary, omentum, intestinal serosa, myometrium, and endometrium<br />with the fetus outside the uterus.<br /><br />Twenty-eight weeks gestational age, or longer, was used as an index to demonstrate the presence<br />of a good environment to support a growing fetus. All 44 patients were reviewed to see how many<br />progressed to 28 weeks or more.<br /><br />The author did not use a viable infant at birth as a criterion for reimplantation because many cases<br />had been misdiagnosed earlier. If earlier correct diagnoses had been made, an increased number of live infants would have been delivered.<br /><br />....<br /><br />Our records on 20 patients showed that these transfers occurred much later. Our cases showed that a viable embryo and trophoblastic<br />tissue will reimplant and continue to grow if there is a functional corpus luteum, adequate blood supply to the new placenta site, and a suitable environment which varied from uterus, fallopian<br />tube, intestine, and peritoneum. <br /><br />....<br /><br />This review of cases questions the absolute value of implantation in the endometrial cavity."Christina Duniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785550737493692252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-63783481303802439432012-06-01T11:29:16.964-04:002012-06-01T11:29:16.964-04:00Ectopic Pregnancy "Rarely, reimplantation of ...<a href="http://www.gfmer.ch/Obstetrics_simplified/Ectopic_pregnancy.htm" rel="nofollow">Ectopic Pregnancy</a> "Rarely, reimplantation of the conceptus occurs in another abdominal structure leads to secondary abdominal pregnancy."Christina Duniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785550737493692252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-65622702912122149752012-06-01T11:13:47.944-04:002012-06-01T11:13:47.944-04:00Here's a missing link:

When studied at real-time, ovarian ectopic pregnancies move with respect to the ovary, not separately. Abdominal ectopic pregnancy typically develops in the ligaments of the ovary. It can then obtain blood supply from the omentum and abdominal organs. At times these pregnancies migrate out of the pelvis and are seen in the upper abdomen. Sonographically the pregnancy is seen separate from the uterus, adnexa, and ovaries. Treatment is by means of laparotomy or laparoscopy (Fig 7) (39). While abdominal pregnancy can result in a life-threatening emergency, especially when diagnosed late in gestation, it can also result in a live birth by means of laparotomy."Christina Duniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785550737493692252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-65010810945112796132012-06-01T11:01:48.420-04:002012-06-01T11:01:48.420-04:00More:
