To comply with the wishes of patient Stephanie Hayward not to be cut open and left with an ugly scar, three surgeons at Colchester General Hospital performed a unique keyhole surgery to remove two embryos which had become trapped in one of the patient's fallopian tubes.
Obstetrics and gynaecology consultant, Barry Whitlow, who led the operation said: "This was the first twin ectopic pregnancy in the same tube I have ever seen in 14 years as a doctor and I will probably never see one again. The fact that the tube was attached to the bowel made this a very, very rare and difficult situation."
Dr. Whitlow also stated: "It was a complicated procedure, which I have never performed before and I needed specialist support from two other surgeons."
Keyhole surgery under such complicated circumstances makes this surgery unique and believed to be a medical first and is expected to be written up in medical journals.
Ms. Hayward has made a full recovery and has a scar less than an inch long.
