What is it about?
Pregnancy on a cesarean scar is a complication that occurs in the context of a previous cesarean section. It refers to the implantation of the gestational sac in the cesarean scar or dehiscence of a prior cesarean section, with increased risks for both the mother and fetus, including uterine rupture, placenta accreta, and postpartum hemorrhage.
