A stepwise approach to robotic assisted excision of a cesarean scar pregnancy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To develop a stepwise approach to robotic assisted excision of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) with metroplasty.

Methods

This illustrative video presentation demonstrating CSP, the criteria for ultrasound diagnosis, and a step-by-step approach for robotic assisted excision of CSP and multi-layer hysterotomy closure at a tertiary medical center.

Results

Robotic assisted resection is a safe and feasible method to treat cesarean scar ectopic pregnancies. Key ultrasonographic characteristics of CSP are highlighted to facilitate its diagnosis, thus allowing for early intervention with a minimally invasive surgical treatment as necessary. Our patient was a 30-year-old gravida 2 para 1 woman with a history of 1 prior-term low transverse cesarean delivery, who present
