title: Resectoscopic treatment of ectopic pregnancy in previous cesarean delivery scar defect with vasopressin injection.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe resectoscopic treatment with vasopressin injection as an effective surgical intervention for ectopic pregnancy in previous cesarean delivery scar (PCDS) defect.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  University hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two women with ectopic pregnancy in PCDS defect.
  
  
  METHODS
  The patients underwent transvaginal ultrasound examination, followed by operative hysteroscopy with vasopressin injection for evacuating the ectopic pregnancy in PCDS defect.
  
  
  METHODS
  Conservation of the uterus.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Successful resectoscopic treatment of ectopic pregnancy in PCDS defect.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Resectoscopic treatment of ectopic pregnancy in PCDS defect is a safe and efficient technique that has the advantage of a rapid return to normal levels of β-hCG. Intracervical vasopressin administration could decrease intraoperative bleeding and provide a clear view during the operation.
