Conservative treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy with the combination of methotrexate and mifepristone: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) has become more frequent as a direct consequence of the increased number of cesarean deliveries and the advances in imaging. Although some cases are characterized by spontaneous resolution, unrecognized or mishandled CSP has the potential to cause both fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. However, due to its infrequency, there is no agreement on the best management.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, the risks and effectiveness of medical therapy with methotrexate and mifepristone to better understand its role in CSP therapy.

Design

This study is a systematic review.
