Treatment outcomes of uterine lesion resection versus hysterectomy for cesarean scar pregnancy

Abstract

Objective: To compare the effects of uterine lesion resection (ULR) and hysterectomy on cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Materials and Methods: A total of 147 patients admitted from January 2009 to January 2019 and diagnosed as CSP by pathological examination were selected, of whom 105 underwent ULR and 42 received hysterectomy. The gestational age, size of gestational mass, serum β-hCG level, previous treatments and clinical outcomes of the two groups were compared. Results: Compared with the hysterectomy group, the ULR group had significantly lower gestational age, size of gestational mass and proportion of persistent CSP (p 12 weeks.
