Resumen
NINO-HERNANDEZ, Lucía Mercedes et al. Fallopian tube prolapse: case reports and literature review. Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2011, vol.62, n.3, pp.272-276. ISSN 0034-7434.
Objective: fallopian tube prolapsed is a rare surgical complication, usually occurring secondary to vaginal hysterectomy. Such pathology forms a diagnostic challenge, given the spectrum of cervical benign and malign lesions. The present case reports were aimed at revising the literature regarding the pertinent etiology, diagnosis and treatment. Materials and methods: three cases of fallopian tube prolapse are presented, as well as a literature review involving a search of PubMed via Medline, Hinari, SciELO and EMBASE databases to compile relevant information published in both English and Spanish during the last 5 years. Conclusion: post-hysterectomy fallopian tube prolapse, whether vaginal or abdominal, is a rare surgical complication. Definitive diagnosis is made by histopathological study when tubal tissue associated with inflammatory infiltrate has been shown. Different surgical techniques have been proposed for its treatment aimed at partially or totally removing the prolapsed tube and repairing the vaginal opening.
