Laparoscopic Management of an Ectopic Pregnancy in a Previous Caesarean Section Scar: A Case Report

Abstract

Caesarean scar ectopic is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy [3]. The diagnosis and treatment of it is challenging. It is important to diagnose the condition as early as possible in order to administer appropriate, timely treatment and to avoid complications. A rare case of laparoscopic management of an ectopic pregnancy in a previous Caesarean section scar is reported here. Laparoscopy enabled the successful treatment of an unruptured ectopic pregnancy in a previous Caesarean scar and made it possible to preserve the patient’s reproductive capability. In this report we present a case of 30 year old gravida 2, para 1, living 1 with cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy managed laparoscopically.
