Uterine Ectopic Pregnancies and Live Births: Systematic Review of the Literature and Concepts Underlying Favorable Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Uterine ectopic pregnancy includes uterine extraendometrial forms such as cervical, intramural, and interstitial pregnancies, whose incidence is increasing with prior uterine surgery and assisted reproduction. Unlike cesarean scar pregnancy, which is known to occasionally progress to term, the potential for these other types to continue beyond the first trimester remains poorly defined. This review evaluates reported cases carried to viability, focusing on maternal and neonatal outcomes and identifying prognostic factors influencing progression. Materials and Methods: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251070864).
