Early scarring pregnancy (CSP) in the lower part of the uterus after cesarean section is an ectopic pregnancy. Intracavitary ultrasound may have a better diagnostic efficiency for CSP.
This study evaluated the value of intracavitary ultrasound in the diagnosis of CSP in the lower uterus after cesarean section.
In this manuscript, the authors aimed to study the value of intracavitary ultrasound in the diagnosis of CSP in the lower segment of the uterus after cesarean section, and to provide a better basis and method for the diagnosis of CSP.
An observational study was conducted on patients diagnosed with CSP in our hospital from October 2019 to April 2021.
The diagnostic accuracy of intracavitary ultrasound for CSP is higher than that of transabdominal ultrasound. There was no difference between the missed diagnosis rate and the misdiagnosis rate between ultrasound types. For the diagnosis rate of CSP type, the diagnosis rate of pregnancy sac, heterogeneous mass and part of the uterine cavity by intracavitary ultrasound is higher than that of transabdominal ultrasound, and the difference is not statistically significant.
Intracavitary ultrasound had a higher diagnostic accuracy and application value for diagnosing CSP than transabdominal ultrasound, with reduced risk of missed diagnoses and misdiagnosis, thereby preventing delayed treatment.
Intracavitary ultrasound may have a better diagnostic efficiency for CSP and has a wider clinical application value.
