The aim of this study is to further demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of transvaginal resection of pregnancy tissue in the treatment of Caesarean Scar Pregnancy (CSP).

Conditions

• Caesarean Scar Pregnancy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	transvaginal resection of pregnancy tissue	Patient were under general anaesthesia, placed in a dorsal lithotomy position and the bladder emptied. Expose, grasp and traction the cervix. And adrenaline (600 ug/l; 10-20 ml) was injected submucosally at the level of the cervicovaginal junction. An incision was made at the anterior cervicovaginal junction, and the bladder was dissected away until the anterior peritoneal reflection was identified. The anterior drawing hook was inserted into the vaginal incision to retract the bladder upwards. The CSP was identified as a'purple bulge' located in the anterior part of the lower uterine segment. A transverse incision was made over the most prominent area of the bulge. Ectopic pregnancy tissue inside the bulge was removed, and suction curettage through the incision on the uterus isthmus was subsequently performed. The edges of the incision were trimmed with scissors, and the myometrial and vaginal defects were closed with a continuous locking suture using 2-0 absorbable sutures.
