Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to evaluate a novel protocol to conserve the uterus during Cesarean delivery indicated for placenta accreta.
Detailed Description:
Placenta accreta is a morbid obstetric condition that describes variable non-physiologic invasion of the placenta into the the uterine wall. The incidence of placenta accreta, as a serious cause of postpartum hemorrhage, has substantially increased secondary to increase the rate of Cesarean delivery. Placenta accreta is primarily managed by peripartum hysterectomy prior to delivery of the placenta to avoid uncontrolled bleeding. However, in addition to the surgical risks, hysterectomy is psychologically morbid to many women particularly younger women and women with low parity. Therefore, several conservative options were studied to provide an alternative for hysterectomy in these women. Our study is designated to evaluate a proposed protocol of multi-step interventions to reduce the anticipated amount of bleeding prior to delivery of the placenta.
