Abstract
- Pregnancy in the previous Cesarean section scar is a very rare form of ectopic pregnancy. This ectopic pregnancy may cause grave complications such as severe vaginal bleeding or spontaneous uterine rupture. Suction curettage, exploratory laparotomy, or systemic or local injection of methotrexate is the treatment method currently performed. In this report, we treat a case of this patient by laparoscopic surgery. By this surgery, we could successfully remove gestational sac from the implantation site and repair the defect by primary suture and preserve uterus.
