Caesarean scar ectopic – A case series of three cases managed with diverse modalities of treatment

The incidence of ‘Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy’ has been increasing in recent times. Probably the rising caesarean rate around the world responsible for it. We are reporting three cases of Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancies, suspected clinically and confirmed by sonography of the uterus. Each of the three cases was managed with different modalities of treatment. Case one was operated by open laparotomy, case two underwent laparoscopy and case three was managed with medical treatment without surgery. Uterus could be saved in all three cases.
