About

The study investigates the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of a simultaneous surgical approach for cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP). CSEP is a prevalent and serious form of ectopic pregnancy requiring swift intervention. The research explores using hysteroscopy and laparoscopy concurrently to manage the CSEP and repair the uterine scar defect. The procedure involved hysteroscopic-guided evacuation and a double-layer laparoscopic repair, followed by a second hysteroscopy to confirm the repair's effectiveness.
