Abstract: Objectives:To discuss the early diagnosis of non-simultaneous ectopic pregnancy and current treatment methods. Methods:Two cases with non-simultaneous bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy in our reproductive medical center and three cases previously reported have been reviewed. Results:The contralateral delayed ectopic pregnancy might be easily ingnored while unilateral pregnancy has been confirmed,which often needs secondary surgery. Conclusions:For the infertile women in ART with tubal factors,removal of both follopian tubes might be a solution to exclude the potential non-simultaneous bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy while unilateral salpingectomy is performed. Otherwise,carefully examination of contralateral tube in surgery and strictly follow up of serum β-HCG after surgery facilitate to discover the potential non-simultaneous pregnancy for those people want to save another tube.
