A case series of combined systemic and percutaneous therapy in a III level center in Colombia. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2024, vol.92, n.1, pp.27-40. Epub 31-Maio-2024.

OBJECTIVE:
To report a scheme of non-surgical care in patients with cesarean scar pregnancy in the context of a health system with low resources. In addition, to describe the tolerance, monitoring, evolution and outcome of each of the patients treated with the proposed scheme.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Descriptive study of a case series of patients who, between May 2020 and March 2023, attended the emergency room of a tertiary care institution in Barranquilla, Colombia, because of obstetric symptoms or were referred to the institution with a diagnosis of cesarean scar pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound. Study parameters: measurement of sociodemographic, obstetric, clinical evolution and maternal complication variables. Descriptive analysis of data was performed.
Results:
Eleven patients were documented, giving an incidence of 1.85 cases per 5000 pregnancies. Pelvic pain and bleeding were the most common symptoms. Five patients had two or more previous cesarean sections, the remainder had only one previous cesarean section, and five had a history of obstetric curettage. Nine of the 11 patients were treated at less than 8 weeks’; gestation. The success rate was 100%, with a mean beta-hCG negativity of 38.7 days. There were no major complications and no surgical intervention was required.
CONCLUSIONS:
We describe the implementation of a combined systemic and local regimen with methotrexate that was safe and effective, with preservation of fertility.
