Retrospective study. PG - 102746 LID - S2468-7847(24)00025-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jogoh.2024.102746 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a rare dangerous condition with still no consensus on standard treatment. Suction curettage has been used as the first-line treatment for CSP with controversial outcomes. This study evaluates efficacy of ultrasound-guided suction curettage (UGSC) followed by cervical-isthmic placement of silicon semirigid three-way foley catheter. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 24 women with CSP. Preoperative ultrasound study was conducted. UGSC followed by placement of catheter was performed in all patients. The success rate and incidence of major complication, surgical time and hospital stay were recorded. RESULTS: The success rate of UGSC followed by placement of foley catheter was 100 %, effectively reduced major complications and none of the patients had a blood loss higher than 900 ml. Median hospital stay was 2 days and median foley stay was 1 day. Surgery had limited last with a median of 17 min. CONCLUSION: UGSC followed by foley placement is a safe effective treatment for CSP with a clinical resolution of 100 %. The catheter is easy to place under ultrasound guidance and prevents bleeding, reducing major procedures to solve the bleeding. Suction curettage in CSP treatment should be performed under ultrasound guidance and followed by cervical-isthmic placement of foley balloon. CI - Copyright (c) 2024.
