A medical team at King Saud Hospital- Unaizah has successfully saved the life of a pregnant Saudi woman, at the beginning of the third month, who had been suffering from severe lower abdominal pain, particularly at the left side. After due medical tests, the woman, in her 30s, was diagnosed with a rare and high risky type of ectopic pregnancy, in the colon area of the abdomen. The patient underwent a surgery during which the gestational sac and fetus were removed without any effect on the uterus and her internal organs, while maintaining her life, thank Allah.
