Those 72 are reported since the first report in 1895, meaning just over one every 2 years, though the incidence may be higher. These are ectopic pregnancies, not really possible to carry to delivery (which would have to be by C-section if it did happen) and usually require surgery. It happens when the surgical cuff develops a hole and allows sperm to enter the woman's body, but this is very rare.

Obviously, these are extremely rare and unusual ectopic pregnancies, either in the tube or somewhere else in the abdomen, and a resulting viable baby even more rare. They could happen with a small vaginal fistula, a tube remnant could attach to the vaginal cuff or residual cervix, or conception could occur just prior to surgery.
