Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To test a new surgical approach to cervical pregnancy. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: University teaching hospital. PATIENT(S): A patient presenting with a cervical pregnancy. INTERVENTION(S): Hysteroscopic resection of a cervical pregnancy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Successful resolution of the ectopic pregnancy (EP) and preservation of the uterus. RESULT(S): Successful treatment of a cervical pregnancy by uterine resectoscope is described. CONCLUSION(S): Operative hysteroscopy permits direct visualization and complete resection of a cervical pregnancy. When it is successful, this treatment should result in prompt resolution of the EP, thus avoiding prolonged follow-up.
