INTRODUCTION One of the ensuing complications of placenta accreta includes loss of fertility. CASE PRESENTATION An Asian origin Indian national patient with history of placenta accreta at the time of previous delivery and had conservative management with injection methotrexate after the failure of surgical intervention, conceives again and has uneventful antenatal period and parturition. CO...

This study aims to analyze the clinical characteristics and to manage patients with retained placenta left in situ accompanied by fever following vaginal delivery.Twenty-one patients with retained placenta in association with fever following vaginal delivery were enrolled and managed at the maternity department of our university hospital between 2012 and 2014.All patients had risk factors for d...

BACKGROUND Obstetric hysterectomy (OH) as a lifesaving measure to manage uncontrolled uterine hemorrhage appears to be increasing recently. The objective of this study was to determine the etiology and changing trends of OH and to identify those at particular risk of OH to enhance the early involvement of multidisciplinary intensive care. METHODS A retrospective study was carried out in patie...

Background/aim: The main aim of this study was to investigate serum total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), oxidative stress index (OSI), and arylesterase levels in pregnant women with placenta accreta and to compare those with age-matched healthy pregnant women. Materials and methods: A total of 27 pregnant women who had clinically and pathologically proven placenta accreta...

OBJECTIVE To describe the management and outcomes of placenta accreta, increta, and percreta in the UK. DESIGN A population-based descriptive study using the UK Obstetric Surveillance System (UKOSS). SETTING All 221 UK hospitals with obstetrician-led maternity units. POPULATION All women diagnosed with placenta accreta, increta, and percreta in the UK between May 2010 and April 2011. ME...

INTRODUCTION Placenta accreta significantly contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality. We evaluated whether planned delivery and experienced, team-managed surgical intervention results in improved outcomes. We also examined whether risk factors differed for accreta, increta, and percreta and evaluated whether excess lower segment uterine vascularity correlates with disease severity. MET...

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of placenta accreta and to define the most relevant specific ultrasound and MRI features that may predict placental invasion. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was approved by the institutional review board of the French College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. We retrospectively reviewe...

Placentation disorders are the result of impaired embedding of the placenta in the endometrium. The prevalence of these disorders is estimated to be around 0.3 %. A history of previous prior uterine surgery (especially cesarean section and curettage) is the most common risk factor. Impaired placentation is differentiated into deep placental attachment; marginal, partial and total placenta previ...

Placenta previa accreta, the combination of placenta previa and placenta acrreta, can cause life-threatening massive post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) and may require emergent hysterectomy. Intraoperative transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) performed after fetal delivery and before placenta expulsion can significantly reduce blood loss and preserve the uterus. However, TAE may fail under the s...
