Background: Heterotopic pregnancy describes the relatively rare coexistence of one or more intrauterine gestations and one or more extrauterine (ectopic) gestations. We describe a unique clinical case involving successful treatment of an ovarian heterotopic pregnancy through gestational sac aspiration and injection of hyperosmolar glucose.
Case: A 31-year-old woman presented with an ovarian ectopic pregnancy and a viable intrauterine pregnancy after ovulation induction with oral medications. The ovarian gestational sac was aspirated and then injected transvaginally with a small volume of 50% glucose in water. The ectopic pregnancy resolved, and the intrauterine pregnancy was delivered at term without complication.
Conclusion: Gestational sac aspiration and injection of hyperosmolar glucose into an ovarian ectopic pregnancy was simple and efficacious without compromising a coexisting intrauterine pregnancy.

Introduction: Monitoring the morphological features of the gestational sac (GS) and measuring the mean sac diameter (MSD) during early pregnancy are essential for predicting spontaneous miscarriage and estimating gestational age (GA). However, the manual process is labor-intensive and highly dependent on the sonographer's expertise. This study aims to develop an automated pipeline to assist sonographers in accurately segmenting the GS and estimating GA.

Background: Ectopic pregnancy, occurring outside the uterine cavity, poses a significant health risk, with Fallopian tube involvement being predominant. Recurrent ectopic pregnancy, particularly in the ipsilateral remnant of a previously removed tube, is a rare and poorly understood phenomenon. Here, we present a case of recurrent ectopic pregnancy occurring in the distal remnant of the right fallopian tube following ipsilateral incomplete salpingectomy in a 22-year-old woman.

Background: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) accounts for approximately 2% of all pregnancies, with tubal ectopic pregnancies (TEPs) being the most common type. Methotrexate (MTX) is a noninvasive and effective medical management option for TEP, but failure rates range from 10 to 36%, posing challenges in clinical practice. Identifying risk factors for MTX treatment failure is crucial to improve patient outcomes and guide clinical decision-making.

Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP) is localized over the scar of a previous cesarean section. CSEP is a challenging entity, both in terms of diagnosis and management. The clinical presentation of CSEP may vary from asymptomatic patients with positive urine pregnancy tests to acute presentations such as pelvic pain, bleeding per vaginum, uterine rupture, and hemodynamic instability.

To develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the risk of adverse events (intraoperative massive haemorrhage or retained products of conception) associated with the termination of Caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Data were retrospectively collected from patients diagnosed with CSP who underwent Dilation and Curettage (D&C) at two hospitals. This data was divided into internal and external cohorts for analysis.
