MANAGEMENT OF CAESAREAN SCAR PREGNANCY WITH LAPAROSCOPYUNDER REAL TIME ULTRASONOGRAPHY

Abstract

Caesarean scar pregnancy is a form of ectopic pregnancy that implants within myometrium at site of previous caesarean scar. It's a rare kind of pregnancy but can become life threatening if not managed properly. As number of caesareans are increasing all over the world, the incidence of caesarean scar pregnancy has also started rising. The best method of management is still not clear. The main aim of management should be preventing massive blood loss and preserving the uterus. We recommend laparoscopic management of caesarean scar pregnancy under real time ultrasonography for a better outcome as observed in the three cases described in this case report.
