Abstract

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.

Summary

Introduction

It might be caused by the trophoblast which invades a detective and thinned out myometrium in a scar which is a remnant of previous cesarean section. In South Viet Nam, majority of CSPs are case reports or small case series reported, the rate of conservative treatment appears to be increasing This rate is 85.11% in applying the method of excision of trophoblastic tissues using either laparotomy, or 97.1% when using locally and/or systemically administered methotrexate combined with surgical sac aspiration in Tu Du and Hung Vuong Hospital. The risk of recurrent caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is a concern
