Clinical Analysis of 45 Cases of Caesarean Scar Pregnancy

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of caesarean scar pregnancy and to investigate its treatment.Methods Clinical case records of 45 cases of caesarean scar pregnancy from June 2003 to September 2007 were reviewed. The characteristics and management of cases were analyzed.Results The women＇s average age was 32.8 ± 5.1 years. All cases had amenorrhoea, and 27 cases had vaginal bleeding from spotting to morderate. Seven cases were misdiagnosed as normal early intrauterine pregnancy or inevitable miscarriage before dilation and curettage（D ＆ C）. In case of massive bleeding, caesarean scar pregnancy was diagnosed after D ＆ C. Bleeding was controlled and uterus was conserved in 6 cases, and 1 case underwent hysterectomy because of uncontrollable bleeding. The remaining 38 cases had ultrasound scan, which indicated scar pregnancy before primary treatment, Eight cases were primarily treated with dilation and curettage, in which only 2 cases had slight bleeding in the operation and no further treatment, Nineteen cases were primarily treated with dilation and curettage after uterine artery embolization, in which 17 cases needed no further treatment and had no complications. The success rate was 89.4% （17/19）. Eleven cases were primarily treated with trichosanthin 1.2 mg intramuscular. No one encountered massive bleeding, but 7 cases of these 11 cases needed extra treatment.Conclusion Caesarean scar pregnancy must be cautious of especially in cases of inevitable miscarriage. Dilation and curettage followed uterine artery embolization can be used as the primary treatment for caesarean scar pregnancy.

The Outcome of 40 Patients Becoming Pregnancy after Conservative Treatment of Cesarean Scar Pregnancy

Background: The rate of uterus is successfully conserved following the treatment of scar pregnancy which is high so pregnancy outcome following caesarean scar ectopics is getting more and more attention. Objectives: To assess pregnancy course and outcome after conservative treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy. Methods: A retrospective case series of 40 patients become pregnancy after conservative treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy by Foley or Methotrexate and aspiration. Patients in present study were treated at Hung Vuong and Tu Du Hospital between 2015 and 2017. A telephone follow-up was conducted after cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) treatment. The outcomes of these subsequent pregnancies and mode of delivery were all recorded. Results: In 40 pregnancies, there are 22 cases of intrauterine pregnancy with childbirth (55%);all babies were born healthy, with no complications recorded in pregnancy. 12 Women had recurrent scar ectopic (30%). There were 2 abortion cases, 2 cases of ectopic pregnancy, and 2 cases of early miscarriage. Conclusions: Our study shows that reproductive outcomes following treatment of caesarean scar ectopic pregnancies are favourable. The risk of recurrent caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is a concern.
