Surgery versus medicine for pregnancy in a C-section scar
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat a pregnancy that grows in a previous C-section scar. One option is surgery to remove the pregnancy, and the other is a medicine called methotrexate that stops the pregnancy from growing. The goal is to find which treatment is safer and more effective for women in early pregnancy.
