Acute salpingitis subsequent to tubal ligation.
1986
Acute salpingitis subsequent to tubal ligation is an uncommon event. Multiple studies have given credence to the assumption that salpingitis after tubal ligation does not occur. 4 cases of salpingitis after tubal ligation are reported during the period of January 1980 to May 1985. This relates to an incidence of 1 in approximately 450 cases of acute salpingitis. A case of acute stump salpingitis with sequela from tubal rupture is reported and represents (to the authors knowledge) the 3rd reported case in the literature. Salpingitis can occur in the proximal stumps of tubes that have been ligated. (authors)
