Cesarean Scar Ectopic Pregnancy: Current Management Strategies
Conclusions
Recent research supports any method that removes the pregnancy and scar to reduce morbidity and promote future fertility. Laparoscopic and transvaginal approaches are options for CSEP treatment, although continued research is required to identify the optimal approach.
Relevance
As cesarean delivery numbers rise, a subsequent increase in CSEPs can be anticipated. The ability to accurately diagnose and treat this morbid condition is vital to the practice of any specialist in general obstetrics and gynecology.
Target Audience
Obstetricians and gynecologists, family physicians.
