SEHA’s Corniche Hospital, part of PureHealth, has highlighted its specialist-led approach to diagnosing and managing caesarean scar pregnancy, a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that can cause serious maternal complications if not detected early.
The condition occurs when an embryo implants within the scar tissue of a previous caesarean section. Diagnosis can be challenging, and delayed detection may pose significant risks to maternal health. Early assessment, appropriate imaging and specialist clinical expertise are essential to determining the most suitable course of treatment.
Corniche Hospital serves as a referral centre for caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy, receiving nearly 100 referrals annually. Its consultant-led service supports patients from diagnostic assessment through to individualised management based on their clinical condition and risk profile.

The hospital’s specialist team recently managed a high-risk case, marking four years of providing this dedicated service.
Dr. Yasmin Sana, Obstetrics and Gynaecology Consultant at SEHA’s Corniche Hospital, said: “Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is a high-risk condition that requires early recognition and careful clinical assessment. Undetected caesarean scar pregnancies can pose serious risks to maternal health. Accurate diagnosis can be challenging, and timely evaluation by clinicians with expertise in this area is essential to guiding appropriate management. At Corniche Hospital, we provide comprehensive consultant-led care for patients with suspected caesarean scar pregnancy, from diagnosis through to tailored treatment planning based on each individual case.”
