We derive the fractional degradation of signal to noise due to the presence of a radio pulsar in an eccentric binary system. We provide the procedure to compute the detection probability of binary pulsars after taking account of this effect. We simulate the distribution of orbital periods and eccentricities of double neutron star and black hole binary systems in the Galaxy, and derive their "observable" distribution after accounting for this effect. This selection effect becomes very serious while observing millisecond pulsars in close binary systems, and including "acceleration search" along with the search analysis procedure becomes quite important.
