Laparoscopic Management of Caesarean Scar Pregnancy: A Case Series

Caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a pregnancy where embryo is implanted in the myometrium of a previous caesarean scar and it is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy. Diagnosis and management of CSP is a challenge because caregivers lack awareness about the possibility of implantation in previous caesarean surgery scar. We present here six CSP cases. All patients presented with abdominal pain and/or bleeding per vaginum with history of previous caesarean section. On ultrasonography, caesarean scar pregnancy was diagnosed. We managed them endoscopically at an endoscopic surgery and training center during the year 2019 till the year 2022. The pre-operative and post-operative periods were uneventful and they were discharged on day 2 or 3 of surgery. Hystero-laparoscopic combined approach is a good option for managing CSP in expert hands. Although there are no clear guidelines for managing CSP, we suggest individualizing each patient's treatment plan, depending on their personal characteristics and available facilities at the managing center.
