title: [Management options of caesarean scar pregnancy].
abstract: Cesarean scar pregnancy is an uncommon ectopic gestation. Without timely and proper management, it may cause major bleeding, uterine rupture, and other life-threatening complications. The causes of this condition remain unclear, and no standardized management has been available, although some medical and surgical treatment modalities have been suggested. The main treatment objectives include preventing massive blood loss, preserving the uterus function, and maintain the women's health and quality of life. Current data do not support expectant management. After early diagnosis, single or combined medical and surgical treatment options should be provided to avoid uterine rupture and haemorrhage, so as to preserve the uterus and thus the fertility.
