Abstract

Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is a leading cause of life-threatening complications in the first trimester. It poses a diagnostic and management challenge; if not diagnosed and adequately treated in early pregnancy, it may lead to considerable maternal morbidity and mortality. We report a case series of cesarean scar ectopic pregnancies managed successfully by laparoscopy. Laparoscopic excision is the gold standard management approach for cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy.

Keywords: Cesarean scar; ectopic pregnancy; laparoscopic excision.
