Abstract:
:Caesarean scar pregnancy is a dangerous condition that occurs when an embryo is implanted in a previous Caesarean scar. This condition has become more frequent as a direct consequence of the increased number of Caesarean sections reported worldwide. Timely diagnosis of this condition is fundamental, and allows a conservative approach to preserving fertility. A wide range of medical and surgical strategies has been described, with no consensus on preferred management. Recently, hysteroscopic surgery has been proposed as a conservative strategy, with interesting results in reproductive outcome, postoperative course and success rate. Most cases of Caesarean scar pregnancy reported worldwide involve a singleton pregnancy. A peculiar case of fully documented office hysteroscopic removal of twin Caesarean scar pregnancy is presented in this paper. This procedure took place in a tertiary care university hospital without cervix dilatation, under conscious sedation, after failure of systemic methotrexate administration. Complete removal of the ectopic pregnancy was obtained without intra- and postoperative complications.
