Cervical ectopic pregnancy (CP) is a rare condition with an incidence of less than 0.1% of all ectopic pregnancies. It is associated with a high morbidity and mortality potential. Timely intervention is required to preserve fertility and avoid the need for a hysterectomy. A case of CP is reported and the challenges in the diagnosis and management are discussed. ...[more]

Cervical ectopic pregnancy - the first case of live birth and uterus-conserving management.

Project description:A 37-old III gravida II para with two previous cesarean sections (CS) presented in 7 + 3 weeks of pregnancy with cervical ectopic pregnancy (CEP). At 12th week of pregnancy, a cerclage was performed to avoid cervical distention by the expanding placenta. Due to missing experience in CEP management and to avoid emergency operation, we recommended CS in 30th week of pregnancy due to unspecific pain of the patient. Vaginal bleeding never occured.After transverse laparotomy, the urinary bladder was sharply dissected from the anterior uterine and cervical wall. The baby was delivered by transverse cervicotomy caudally of the placenta. The placenta was left in situ. The patient then got prophylactic embolization of the uterine arteries to prevent further severe hemorrhage. 48 h later, ultrasound showed a floating, avascular placenta within a poor echogenic fluid-filled cervical space as well as macrohematuria. After re-laparotomy and cervicotomy at the same day, the placenta was completely and easily evacuated. A bladder injury was recognized and closed. We performed a cervical internal os plasty by inverting the cervical lips and suturing their distal ends on the proximal cervical tissue, resulting in complete bleeding cessation. Although, the patient got 8 erythrocyte concentrates at all, she was always in a stable condition without hemorrhagic shock.This case demonstrates for the first time a live-birth with uterus-conserving management in CEP.

Diagnosis and treatment of ectopic pregnancy.

Project description:Ectopic pregnancy is a life- and fertility-threatening condition that is commonly seen in Canadian emergency departments. Increases in the availability and use of hormonal markers, coupled with advances in formal and emergency ultrasonography have changed the diagnostic approach to the patient in the emergency department with first-trimester bleeding or pain. Ultrasonography should be the initial investigation for symptomatic women in their first trimester; when the results are indeterminate, the serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) concentration should be measured. Serial measurement of beta-hCG and progesterone concentrations may be useful when the diagnosis remains unclear. Advances in surgical and medical therapy for ectopic pregnancy have allowed the proliferation of minimally invasive or noninvasive treatment. Guidelines for laparoscopy and for methotrexate therapy are provided.

Cesarean Scar Ectopic Pregnancy: Diagnosis With Ultrasound.

Project description:We present a rare case of cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy as diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasonography. Cases such as this are rare, but they are becoming more commonly detected with the growing frequency of cesarean sections, improving technology, and provider proficiency with point-of-care ultrasound. Quick identification of this dangerous diagnosis can be life saving for the patient, as the outcomes of ruptured cesarean ectopic pregnancy may include significant hemorrhage, uterine rupture, and possibly maternal death.

Identification of MiR-223 Associated with Diagnosis in Ectopic Pregnancy.

Project description:BackgroundIn this study, we conducted an integrated study of the diagnostic value of MiR-223 in ectopic pregnancy (EP).MethodsWe used GSE44731 downloaded from GEO and GEO2R to identify differentially expressed miRNA. The hub genes corresponding to the differential miRNA were then identified by using the Xiantao academic tool, GO (Gene Ontology), and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes). Afterward, we used the miEAA database to perform gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of differential miRNA, and used Xiantao academic tools again to conduct the ceRNA network based on the target genes. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction and lncRNA of hub miRNA target genes were then predicted by the starbase database. For validation, the villus tissue from intrauterine pregnancy and tubal pregnancy was collected and assayed by qPCR.ResultsIn total 19 differentially expressed miRNAs were screened out, of which MiR-223 had a relatively clear diagnostic significance. Hub genes were enriched and analyzed by GO, KEGG, and GSEA, and the results showed that regulation of NF-κB and other signaling pathways are primarily enriched in ectopic pregnancy. We also obtained 215 key genes from PPI analysis. Our ceRNA analysis indicated that LRRC75A-AS1 and PITPNA-AS1 were associated with MiR-223, and the expression of MiR-223 in qPCR was significantly high in tubal pregnancy group.ConclusionWe found that MiR-223 can be used in the diagnosis of EP. Our findings provide valuable information and direction for future research into novel targets for EP diagnosis.

Individual management of cervical cancer in pregnancy.

Project description:The management of cervical cancer in pregnancy persists to be challenging. Therefore, identification of factors that influence the choice of therapeutic management is pivotal for an adequate patient counseling.We present a literature review of 26 studies reporting 121 pregnancies affected by cervical cancer. Additionally, we add a retrospective case series of five patients with pregnancy-associated cervical cancer diagnosed and treated in our clinic between 2006 and 2013.The literature review revealed that the therapeutic management during pregnancy varies according to the gestational age at diagnosis, while in the postpartum period no influence on the treatment choice could be detected. Also in our case series the choice of oncologic therapy was influenced by the gestational age, the wish to continue the pregnancy and the risks of delaying definitive treatment.There are no standardized procedures concerning the treatment of cervical cancer in pregnancy. Therefore, in consultation with the patient and a multidisciplinary team, an adequate individualized treatment plan should be determined.

Laparoscopic Management of Cornual Ectopic Pregnancy: A Step-by-step Approach.

Project description:Interstitial and cornual pregnancies are dangerous, yet rare, forms of ectopic pregnancy, accounting for 2%-4% of all ectopic pregnancies. A 38-year-old female, para 1, gravida 3 had undergone another in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycle (a salpingectomy performed elsewhere for treating a hydrosalpinx before a previous IVF attempt). Duration of pregnancy is 6 weeks and 5 days, a transvaginal ultrasound revealed an embryo with a positive foetal heartbeat, located in the left cornuum. As no conservative treatment option could be followed, we proceeded with laparoscopic removal of ectopic pregnancy through cornual resection. Since a specific surgical methodology has not yet been established, presenting more step-by-step surgical approaches that can be used in clinical practice is of high importance. We present a step-by-step surgical approach that we have implemented in cases of cornual pregnancy in our department.

Updates in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of ectopic varices.

Project description:Ectopic varices (EcV) comprise large portosystemic venous collaterals located anywhere other than the gastro-oesophageal region. No large series or randomized-controlled trials address this subject, and therefore its management is based on available expertise and facilities, and may require a multidisciplinary team approach. EcV are common findings during endoscopy in portal hypertensive patients and their bleeding accounts for only 1-5% of all variceal bleeding. EcV develop secondary to portal hypertension (PHT), surgical procedures, anomalies in venous outflow, or abdominal vascular thrombosis and may be familial in origin. Bleeding EcV may present with anaemia, shock, haematemesis, melaena or haematochezia and should be considered in patients with PHT and gastrointestinal bleeding or anaemia of obscure origin. EcV may be discovered during panendoscopy, enteroscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, wireless capsule endoscopy, diagnostic angiography, multislice helical computed tomography, magnetic resonance angiography, colour Doppler-flow imaging, laparotomy, laparoscopy and occasionally during autopsy. Patients with suspected EcV bleeding need immediate assessment, resuscitation, haemodynamic stabilization and referral to specialist centres. Management of EcV involves medical, endoscopic, interventional radiological and surgical modalities depending on patients' condition, site of varices, available expertise and patients' subsequent management plan.

Racial and ethnic disparities in the surgical management of tubal ectopic pregnancy.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate racial and ethnic disparities in the surgical management of ectopic pregnancy over time.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingNone.PatientsSurgically-managed cases of patients with tubal ectopic pregnancy within the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database between 2010 and 2019.InterventionsNone.Main outcome measuresSurgical approach (laparoscopic compared with open) and procedure (salpingectomy compared with salpingostomy/other).ResultsOf 7791 patients undergoing surgical management of tubal ectopic pregnancy, 21.8% identified as Hispanic, 24.5% as Black, 9.4% as Asian/other, and 44.3% as White. Use of laparoscopy increased 1.3% per year from 81.4% in 2010 to 91.0% in 2019 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.010-0.016). Odds of undergoing laparoscopic surgery were lower in Black (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.52; 95% CI, 0.45-0.61) and Hispanic patients (aOR 0.52; 95% CI, 0.44-0.61) compared with White patients and remained similar over time. The use of salpingectomy increased by 1.1% per year from 80.6% in 2010 to 94.7% in 2019 (95% CI, 0.009-0.014). Odds of undergoing salpingectomy were higher among Black (aOR 1.78, 95% CI 1.43-2.23) and Hispanic patients (aOR 1.54; 95% CI, 1.24-1.93) and lower among Asian patients (aOR 0.73, 95% CI, 0.56-0.95) compared with White patients. These ratios remained similar for Black and Asian patients over time.ConclusionsDespite the increased use of laparoscopy and salpingectomy in the surgical management of ectopic pregnancy over time, Black and Hispanic patients remain less likely to undergo minimally invasive surgery and more likely to undergo salpingectomy compared with White patients.
