Risk prediction of major haemorrhage with surgical treatment of live cesarean scar pregnancies

Caesarean scar is a relatively rare type of ectopic pregnancy which affects between 1/1800 to 2/2200 pregnancies.[1 –3] It occurs when a pregnancy implants within an incompletely healed scar of a previous caesarean section. The number of diagnosed cases can be attributed to better awareness of the condition and easier access to high frequency transvaginal ultrasound which facilitates their earlier and more accu rate detection. The incidence of caesarean scar pregnancies has also increased in the last two decades, due to the rising rates of caesarean section deliveries worldwide.
