AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objective: To present a case of cesarean scar pregnancy combined with intrauterine pregnancy after IVF-embryo transfer. Successful embryo reduction was performed and preserved the normal intrauterine gestation.
Design: Case report.
Setting: Tertiary referral case center.
Patient(s): A woman with cesarean scar pregnancy combined with intrauterine pregnancy after IVF-embryo transfer.
Intervention(s): Early diagnosis of heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy and selective embryo reduction was performed by ultrasound-guided potassium chloride (KCl) directed injection.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Successful pregnancy outcome.
Result(s): A 38-year-old woman achieve pregnancy by IVF-embryo transfer. Heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy was diagnosed at 7 weeks gestational age. A transvaginal ultrasound-guided KCl injection was given to terminate the cesarean scar embryo and a healthy infant was delivered 6 months later.
Conclusion(s): Heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy after IVF is extremely rare. Transvaginal intracardiac injection of KCl is a safe and reliable method to terminate the cesarean scar pregnancy. Satisfactory pregnancy outcome should be achieved.

Risk factors associated with the failure of local methotrexate combined with minimally invasive surgery for late cesarean scar pregnancy.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth

Department of Gynecology, Shenyang Women's and Children's Hospital, No. 87 Renao Road, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, 110011, China.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors related to the failure of initial combined local methotrexate (MTX) treatment and minimally invasive surgery for late cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).
Methods: This retrospective case-control study was conducted between January 2016 and December 2023, involving patients with late CSP (≥ 8 weeks) who received local MTX injection combined with either hysteroscopic or laparoscopic surgery. Cesarean scar pregnancy was classified as type I, II, or III based on the direction of growth of the gestational sac and the residual myometrial thickness as assessed by ultrasound.

Objective: To study immediate therapeutic outcomes, subsequent fertility effects and menstrual changes in cesarean scar pregnancy patients who received uterine artery embolization with or without methotrexate followed by ultrasound guided curettage.
Materials And Methods: Totally, 82 patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in our study and divided into two groups. Group I included 50 patients who received uterine artery embolization and ultrasound guided curettage, and Group II had 32 patients who received uterine artery embolization plus methotrexate and ultrasound guided curettage.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Society for Health Allied Research and Education, MediCiti Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
Background: A ten-group classification system of caesarean section was proposed by Michael Robson in 2001. It is helpful in comparing the rates of caesarean section between hospitals. The objective of this study was to determine the caesarean section rates to analyse trends of caesarean section and classify according to Robson's categories.

Cesarean section (CS) is highly prevalent surgery among females. However, current absorbable anti-adhesion membranes used clinically can partially prevent postoperative adhesions but show limited efficacy in tissue regeneration, leaving post-cesarean women at risk for severe complications including cesarean scar pregnancy, placenta previa, and uterine rupture. Herein, we designed a fully amniotic membrane (AM)-derived biomimetic nanostructural materials (AM-BNMs) as an anti-adhesion barrier, and validated its therapeutic efficacy in a rat CS model.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The relationship between cesarean section scars and active pelvic floor muscle tone lacks sufficient evidence. This study is aimed at investigating the relationship between the severity of cesarean section scars and active pelvic floor muscle tone in postpartum women.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study of 604 women at 6-8 weeks postpartum.
