Studies involving cervical pregnancy in the first trimester with the presence of a viable embryo and \u03b2-hCG in the serum below 100.000 mIU\/mL were included, while heterotopic pregnancies were excluded.Results:\u00a0Nineteen articles reporting twenty-three case reports are demonstrated explicitly emphasizing on the management techniques. There is no established approach for the management of this type of ectopic pregnancy.Conclusion:\u00a0It is important to consider the conservative approaches as first-line treatment in all cases of cervical pregnancy preserving fertility. Minimally invasive methods are also described and preferred as second-line treatment, as reported in our literature review.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.15388\/amed.2024.31.1.13","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,22]],"date-time":"2024-05-22T03:50:02Z","timestamp":1716349802000},"page":"6-15","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A Systematic Review about Cervical Pregnancy and our Experience"],"prefix":"10.15388","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Nikolettos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Efthymios","family":"Oikonomou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sonia","family":"Kotanidou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nektaria","family":"Kritsotaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Kyriakou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Panagiotis","family":"Tsikouras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emmanouil","family":"Kontomanolis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angeliki","family":"Gerede","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nikos","family":"Nikolettos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"6097","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"The ESHRE working group on Ectopic Pregnancy, Kirk E, Ankum P, et al.
