EFFECTIVENESS OF VACUUM ASPIRATION UNDER ULTRASOUND GUIDANCE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CESAREAN SCAR PREGNANCY AT NAM DINH OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To describe the clinical and paraclinical characteristics and evaluate the treatment outcomes of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) using ultrasound-guided vacuum aspiration at Nam Dinh Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from 2023 to 2024. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted on 46 medical records of CSP patients treated with ultrasound-guided vacuum aspiration, combined with Foley balloon tamponade when necessary. Results: The mean maternal age was 32.7 ± 4.88 years; 84.8% had delivered at least twice; 56.5% had undergone two previous cesarean sections. The treatment success rate was 97.8%, and the average treatment duration was 4.47 ± 1.49 days. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided vacuum aspiration combined with Foley balloon tamponade proved to be a highly effective and low-complication method for early-stage CSP management. Early diagnosis and treatment at provincial-level hospitals should be strengthened to reduce complications and preserve fertility.
