Abstract

A case of profuse bleeding during dilation and curettage due to Cesarean scar pregnancy was treated with emergency laparoscopy. The gestational mass was removed and the perforated uterus was sutured in laparoscopy. The patient had persistent bleeding and 4 months later laparotomy was performed to explore a cystic mass in the isthmic area of the uterus. This necrotic tissue was removed and 6 months after the initial operation the patient was fully recovered with healed uterus in hysteroscopy.
