A member asked:

If the ovaries remain, can an ectopic pregnancy still occur after a partial hysterectomy ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: There is one woman in turkey i read about years ago who was pregnant after a hysterectomy. She was probably pregnant during the surgery and the baby fell out and implanted on the vaginal cuff. Had to be delivered by caesarian. Wild case but rare.
