The cervical ectopic pregnancy is extremely rare accounting for approximately 0.1% of all ectopic pregnancies. The incidence is estimated at 1:2500-1:98,000 pregnancies. Before the decade of the 80s, the diagnosis is usually performed to made curettage for incomplete abortion likely secondary to uncontrollable bleeding culminating in hysterectomy, is extremely dangerous, as the trophoblast uterine vessels can reach through the thin wall cervical and cause serious and intractable bleeding that usually ends even today in mutilating surgeries to limit future playback. Currently exist no clear criteria in the literature to help decision-making. We report a case of cervical pregnancy successfully treated by operative hysteroscopy ablation and proposes criteria that could help in the future to address this devastating disease.

Intramural pregnancy (IMP) is an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy (EP), typically associated with previous uterine trauma, adenomyosis, or assisted reproductive technology (ART), such as embryo transfer (ET). Despite its potentially life-threatening nature, the absence of definitive preoperative diagnostic criteria for IMP complicates its early detection and management, especially in patients without known risk factors. Additionally, management becomes more challenging when there is an elevated risk of hemorrhage.

Objective: Ectopic pregnancy is an emergency frequently requiring laparoscopic intervention. This study aimed to determine whether single-incision laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective treatment method compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery with multiple ports.
Data Sources: This study searched 6 databases from their inception to May 15, 2024, for articles comparing the safety outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic surgery with conventional laparoscopic surgery in managing women with ectopic pregnancy.

Abdominal ectopic pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy associated with high maternal and perinatal mortality. We present a case of a 28-year-old now primipara who was misdiagnosed to have abruptio placentae and ruptured uterus on two different occasions from a primary health care center but was found to have an advanced abdominal ectopic gestation at 21 weeks gestational age. The patient was managed by exploratory laparotomy and is currently doing well.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are not only involved in cell-to-cell communications but have other functions as "garbage bags", as bringing nutrients to cells, and as inducing mineral during bone formation and ectopic calcification. These minuscule entities significantly contribute to the regulation of bodily functions. However, the clinical application of EVs faces challenges due to limited production yield and targeting efficiency.
