Exclusive hysteroscopic treatment has been reported rarely but with good results. To understand the role, the safety, and effectiveness of this approach, we performed a systematic review of the literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study is a systematic review.

Case reports of randomized controlled trials, prospective controlled studies, prospective cohort studies, retrospective studies, case series, and case reports were considered eligible.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified 265 manuscripts, but at the end of the screening process, we included a total of 8 manuscripts and 158 patients. We have analyzed for each study the age of the patients, pregnancy history, gestational age, presenting symptoms, Transvaginal ultrasound findings, basal beta human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG), the type of hysteroscope used, complications and their management, and time of beta-hCG negativization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The hysteroscopic method represents a feasible and safe approach to the CSP treatment with good outcomes and reproducible even with high levels of beta-hCG and a gestational sac over the 3\u2009cm. An initial gestational sac visualization with a diagnostic hysteroscope and the successive use of the resectoscope seems to be the most effective and safe method. Further multicentric studies and randomized clinical trials are needed to improve and standardize the technique.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17455057251387428","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,20]],"date-time":"2025-11-20T10:06:27Z","timestamp":1763633187000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Exclusive hysteroscopic approach for the treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy: Systematic review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9266-3896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guglielmo","family":"Stabile","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Foggia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Vona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Foggia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3993-2895","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Felice","family":"Sorrentino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Foggia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Etrusco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Obstetrics and Gynecology, \u201cPaolo Giaccone\u201d Hospital, Department of Health Promotion, Mother and Child Care, Internal Medicine and Medical Specialties (PROMISE), University of Palermo, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1543-2802","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio Simone","family":"Lagan\u00e0","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Obstetrics and Gynecology, \u201cPaolo Giaccone\u201d Hospital, Department of Health Promotion, Mother and Child Care, Internal Medicine and Medical Specialties (PROMISE), University of Palermo, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefania","family":"Carlucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Foggia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7848-0329","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano","family":"Restaino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology, \u201cSanta Maria della Misericordia\u201d University Hospital, Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Friuli Centrale, Udine, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Vizzielli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology, \u201cSanta Maria della Misericordia\u201d University Hospital, Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Friuli Centrale, Udine, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of Udine, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luigi","family":"Nappi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Foggia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.AOG.0000287295.39149.bd"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1471-0528.12165"},{"issue":"35","key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Recent trends in cesarean delivery in the United States","volume":"2010","author":"Menacker F","year":"2010","unstructured":"Menacker F, Hamilton BE.
