RESUMO
It has become necessary to re - examine the relevance of diagnostic laparoscopy in the two-stage approach to surgical management of symptomatic women with higher stage endometriosis following emerging evidence demonstrating acceptable diagnostic performance of alternative less invasive and less expensive imaging modalities. We highlight the relative merits of these presurgical diagnostic imaging modalities and propose strategies that address the challenge of transitioning to a new diagnostic paradigm in the management of symptomatic women with higher stage endometriosis.

Caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) occurs when an embryo implants in a previous caesarean section scar. It has a reported incidence of 1 in 1800. Various surgical and medical techniques have been described in case reports for the management of CSP. These techniques are usually undertaken in tertiary level units with significant resource availability. In this paper, we present a new clinical perspective for the management of CSP in low resource settings and describe the steps involved in a transrectal ultrasound guided approach with dilatation of uterine cervix and subsequent evacuation of uterine contents (TRUGA with D&C).
