UTERINE SCAR- A NICHE FOR SURVIVAL

Abstract

Caesarean Scar Ectopic pregnancy(CSP) refers to abnormal implantation of embryo within myometrium and the fibrous tissue of the previous scar following caesarean section. Due to the improvement in imaging modalities and their better diagnostic accuracy, CSP are detected earlier and can avert life threatening complications. Any delay in diagnosis or detection of CSP can compromise future fertilityand als o result in maternal mortality. In literature, expectant management has been reported. However, we have seen that the termination of CSP by laparotomy or hysterotomy, followed by repair of uterine scar is the best treatment option.
