Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

People with type II cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy in the first trimester (up to 14 weeks), who are hemodynamically stable and not facing heterotopic pregnancy or planned hysterectomy/sterilization, are eligible.

Probably not a fit

People with type I or III cesarean scar pregnancy, pregnancies beyond 14 weeks, those presenting with massive bleeding or shock, heterotopic pregnancy, or needing immediate hysterectomy are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This observational comparison enrolls people diagnosed with type II cesarean scar pregnancy in the first trimester and assigns them to either surgical excision or ultrasound-guided evacuation. The study will compare safety outcomes (such as bleeding and need for additional procedures) and measures of treatment efficacy. Patients with heavy bleeding, heterotopic pregnancy, or those beyond 14 weeks are excluded, and care is provided at a single center. Outcomes will be collected during and after the procedure to compare short-term complications and immediate treatment success.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results could identify the safer, more effective approach to manage type II cesarean scar pregnancy and help preserve future fertility.

How similar studies have gone: Previous case series and small observational reports show mixed results—ultrasound-guided evacuation can succeed but has bleeding risk, while surgical excision more reliably controls bleeding but is more invasive.
