Caesarean scar pregnancy represents one of the rarest locations of ectopic pregnancies. It occurs when the blastocyst is implanted in a scar from a previous caesarean section. A dramatic increase of its prevalence has been observed for the last decades, reaching about 21% globally. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to avoid maternal morbidity and mortality. Our case presents the characteristic appearance of a caesarean scar pregnancy with full implantation of the gestational sac in the scar, which was managed successfully with laparotomy.

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.

Cutaneous endometriosis is a rare manifestation of endometriosis, and few reports on its dermoscopic features have been published. In this case report, we present a 40-year-old female with cutaneous endometriosis arising in a caesarean scar, exhibiting unique and distinct dermoscopic features. The patient presented with a nodular, papillomatous growth in the right end of the scar, and dermoscopic examination revealed structureless red papillomatous projections, as well as nonpapillomatous areas with red dotted vessels surrounded by a white reticular network.
