AI Article Synopsis
- This study looked at 17 women who had a special kind of pregnancy called cesarean scar pregnancy and how they were treated successfully.
- The treatment involved a procedure called suction curettage and sometimes an injection of medicine to help with the pregnancy.
- The study found that quick and accurate diagnosis is super important because this type of pregnancy can be very risky for mothers.
Article Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to describe cases of cesarean scar pregnancies that were successfully treated with suction curettage under ultrasound guidance and their outcome.
Methods: This retrospective, descriptive case-series study was performed on 17 patients diagnosed with cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy in Sulaimani Maternity Teaching Hospital from May 2022 to April 2023. The patients' sociodemographic and clinical data were collected. The patients were treated with suction curettage alone or in combination with local injection of methotrexate under ultrasound guidance.
Results: Patients with a viable fetus (n = 4) received local intrinsic methotrexate injection into the gestational sac and suction curettage, while those in whom the fetus had died (n = 13) underwent only suction curettage. Five patients required intrauterine balloon insertion to stop bleeding without further treatment, and only three required a blood transfusion owing to severe bleeding.
Conclusions: Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is a dangerous and complex disorder with an increasing occurrence in recent years. Accurate early diagnosis and effective management are essential to reduce maternal mortality and mortality of this type of pregnancy.

Background: Cesarean scar defects can lead to long-term complications, such as cesarean scar disorders, cesarean scar pregnancy, and the risk of uterine scar dehiscence and rupture in subsequent pregnancy. However, the optimal closure technique to prevent the development of cesarean scar defects (CSD) remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to explore whether two-layer interrupted versus two-layer continuous sutures could prevent the formation of CSD.

Objective: Using an ultra-mini-wound technique to dissect the adhesion surrounding the umbilicus port site aiding laparoscopic staging surgery for treating a woman with an early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer (E-EC) who had widespread and extensive abdominal adhesions secondary to the previous complicated cesarean section (C/S) and bladder rupture.
Case Report: A 70-year-old woman with a history of a previous C/S and complicating bladder rupture treated with the Boari flap repair, leaving a longitudinal depressed scar over the abdomen from the umbilicus site to pubic hair area in her 30s was scheduled for laparoscopic staging surgery due to early-stage E-EC. We performed an ultra-mini midline incision (3-cm) crossing the umbilicus to manually dissect the adhesion surrounding the umbilicus and inserted the main trocar port to establish the workplace for further laparoscopic staging surgery.

Introduction: Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Lack of timely CSP treatment can lead to severe postpartum bleeding, affect fertility, and threaten patients' life and health.
Aim: This work explored the use of laparoscopic temporary uterine artery blocking (TUAB) and uterine artery embolization (UAE) in treating CSP.

Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancies (CSEP) are a rare type of ectopic pregnancy. This condition occurs when a blastocyst is implanted in the scar left by a previous cesarean section (C-section). CSEP can lead to a risk of maternal hemorrhage, which in severe cases can lead to maternal mortality.

Amniotic fluid and amnion membranes have been used in surgery specialties to improve wound healing and decrease surgical adhesion formation. The objective was to determine if amniotic fluid could be collected at cesarean delivery and then reapplied to the layers of the closure using the CeaLogic Specimen Collection and Ratio Applicator Kit. Twenty pregnant individuals who met inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled.
