Int J Gynaecol Obstet 2024; 165:1-8. [PMID: 35986615 DOI: 10.1002/ijgo.14419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Revised: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy and safety of two uterine sparing techniques in conservative management of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). METHODS This multicenter randomized controlled study was conducted from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020 at two university hospitals. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups; Group 1 was managed by Assar's technique and Group 2 was managed by Shehata's technique. Operative time, blood loss, operative complications (organ or vessel injury), and postoperative complications (early and late) were reported. Success of the technique, units of blood transfusion, and intensive care unit admissions were recorded. RESULTS Demographic data in both groups were not significantly different. The mean gestational age at the delivery time was 36 weeks in both groups. Operative time was 120 (100-140) minutes and 75 (60-100) minutes in Assar's and Shehata's techniques, respectively (P < 0.001). Blood loss was higher in Shehata's technique than in Assar's (P < 0.001). Intensive care unit admissions were minimal in both groups. Operative complications were comparable in both groups. The success of Assar's and Shehata's techniques in uterine preservation was 85% and 95%, respectively. CONCLUSION Both techniques were safe and successful in uterine sparing. Therefore, we recommend these techniques for conservative management of PAS. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered on UMIN-CTR and had the unique ID: UMIN000025315 on the following link: https://center6.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr_e/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000029120.

Cervical tourniquet during cesarean section to reduce bleeding in morbidly adherent placenta: a pilot study. Future Sci OA 2022; 8:FSO789. [PMID: 35369280 PMCID: PMC8965796 DOI: 10.2144/fsoa-2021-0087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2021] [Accepted: 02/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate a modified surgical technique aiming to reduce bleeding and preserve fertility in morbidly adherent placenta by cervical tourniquet in cesarean sections. Methods: The cesarean section operations and the cervical ligation approach were performed by a single expert consultant obstetrician. The general demographics and clinical characteristics for all participants were collected and studied. Results: Eleven participants were involved. The uterus was preserved in nine patients, whereas two patients had hysterectomy. The mean blood loss was 1688.8 ml for patients whose uterus was preserved. The mean length of stay was 5.5 days. Conclusion: Cervical ligation is a simple method that can be applied by junior and experienced obstetricians to preserve the uterus. Placenta accreta is the abnormal adhesion of placenta into the uterine wall. It carries a significant risk for hysterectomy, intrapartum and postpartum hemorrhage, and maternal morbidity and mortality. As the preservation of fertility and femininity is desired by many women, numerous methods were adapted to avoid hysterectomy in patients with placenta accreta. In this study, we describe and evaluate a novel technique to preserve the uterus by ligating the cervix with a Foley catheter.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe a stepwise surgical approach for conservative management of placenta previa accreta to preserve the uterus and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this approach in controlling postpartum hemorrhage including intrapartum hemorrhage. METHODS A prospective case series study conducted on 62 pregnant women with one or more cesarean deliveries diagnosed with placenta previa accreta between January 2018 and June 2019 at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital. All participants underwent a conservative stepwise surgical approach through Pfannenstiel skin incision with fetal delivery through a uterine incision just above the upper border of the placenta, followed by bilateral uterine artery ligation with myometrial excision of the remaining adherent placenta and cervico-isthmic sutures by MMG (the main surgeon) and MS. RESULTS Among 62 women, the surgical approach was successful in controlling postpartum hemorrhage and preserving the uterus in 50 (80.64%) participants. Three women (4.83%) had urinary bladder injuries, all were managed intraoperatively during the cesarean section. Five women (8%) had postpartum pyrexia and five women (8%) had postpartum endometritis, all were managed conservatively with broad-spectrum antibiotics. CONCLUSION The stepwise surgical approach can be applied to the conservative management of placenta previa accreta to avoid unnecessary cesarean hysterectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive procedure that has been studied in the management of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). OBJECTIVE To appraise HIFU in the management of PAS and highlight the restrictions on converting uterus-preserving studies into evidence-based practice. SEARCH STRATEGY A search on Scopus, Cochrane, PubMed and Web of Science was conducted from date of inception to January 2020. SELECTION CRITERIA Studies on using HIFU in the management of PAS were eligible. Review articles, conference papers, and case reports were excluded. DATA COLLECTION A standardized sheet was used to abstract data from eligible studies. CON-PAS registry was used to include studies on other conservative modalities. RESULTS Four studies were eligible (399 patients). Average residual placental volume was 61.74 cm3 (6.01-339 cm3 ). Treatment was successful in all patients. Normal menstruation recovered after 48.8 days (15-150 days). No major complications were encountered. Sixty-one studies were retrieved from the CON-PAS registry; uterine artery embolization (23 studies), balloon placement (15 studies), compression sutures (10 studies), placenta in situ (7 studies), and uterine resection (6 studies) were successful in 83.7%, 92.9%, 87.9%, 85.2%, and 79.3% of cases, respectively. CONCLUSIONS HIFU may fit certain clinical situations in the management of PAS. A global research strategy is recommended to incorporate conservative approaches within a comprehensive management protocol.

The application of prophylactic balloon occlusion of the internal iliac artery for the treatment of placenta accreta spectrum with placenta previa: a retrospective case-control study.

Abstract
Background Severe obstetric haemorrhage caused by placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) results in significant maternal morbidity and mortality. The effectiveness of prophylactic balloon occlusion of the internal iliac artery in PAS patients remains controversial. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective case-control study to investigate the clinical effectiveness of this treatment. Methods The clinical data of 104 patients with PAS complicated with placenta previa who delivered by caesarean section between January 2016 and January 2019 were collected, and the patients were divided into two groups. The study group (48 cases) underwent internal iliac artery preset balloon occlusion before caesarean section and uterine artery embolisation according to the bleeding status after surgery, while the control group (56 cases) did not undergo internal iliac artery preset balloon occlusion before caesarean section. Results The operation and hospitalisation times in the study group were longer than those in the control group. Additionally, the hysterectomy rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group. No significant differences in blood loss, blood transfusion volume, urinary system injury, postoperative ICU transfer rate, or neonatal scores were identified between the groups. Among the patients without invasive placenta (placenta increta and percreta), blood loss was lower in the study group, and the caesarean hysterectomy rate did not significantly differ between the groups. Among the patients with invasive placenta, blood loss and the caesarean hysterectomy rate did not significantly differ between the groups. The risk of hysterectomy in the study group was related to invasive placenta penetration, a large area of placental invasion, or abnormal vascular filling. One patient in the study group had a thrombus in the left lower extremity artery. Conclusions Balloon occlusion of the internal iliac artery is effective for haemostasis of placenta previa in the absence of invasive placenta. For patients with invasive placenta, especially placenta percreta, a large area of placental invasion or abnormal vascular filling suggests the need for hysterectomy. The risks of the prophylactic use of internal iliac artery balloon occlusion include vascular injury and thrombus formation.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study is performed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of cervical-lifting suture and lower B-Lynch suture in different severity of placenta previa associated with lower uterine segment bleeding. METHODS We evaluated the effectiveness of cervical-lifting suture (n = 51) and lower B-Lynch suture (n = 137) in stopping the bleeding from lower uterine segment. Additionally, we used different statistical methods, including overall analysis, subgroup analysis and approximate randomization analysis, to evaluate the efficacy of the two assessments. RESULTS The medical records of these 188 participants were extracted and all of the patients were followed up for six weeks. The majority of patients were multipara and complicated with previous cesarean delivery and abnormal adherent placenta. The median intraoperative blood loss and the median amount of red blood cell transfusion were lower in the cervical-lifting suture group in comparison to the lower B-Lynch suture group. CONCLUSION Our study provides evidence that cervical-lifting suture has less intraoperative blood loss and red blood cell transfusion for controlling lower uterine segment bleeding in placenta previa.

Abstract
The worldwide incidence of abnormally invasive placenta is rapidly rising, following the trend of increasing cesarean delivery. It is a heterogeneous condition and has a high maternal morbidity and mortality rate, presenting specific intrapartum challenges. Its rarity makes developing individual expertise difficult for the majority of clinicians. The International Society for Abnormally Invasive Placenta aims to improve clinicians' understanding and skills in managing this difficult condition. By pooling knowledge, experience, and expertise gained within a variety of different healthcare systems, the Society seeks to improve the outcomes for women with abnormally invasive placenta globally. The recommendations presented herewith were reached using a modified Delphi technique and are based on the best available evidence. The evidence base for each is presented using a formal grading system. The topics chosen address the most pertinent questions regarding intrapartum management of abnormally invasive placenta with respect to clinically relevant outcomes, including the following: definition of a center of excellence; requirement for antenatal hospitalization; antenatal optimization of hemoglobin; gestational age for delivery; antenatal corticosteroid administration; use of preoperative cystoscopy, ureteric stents, and prophylactic pelvic arterial balloon catheters; maternal position for surgery; type of skin incision; position of the uterine incision; use of interoperative ultrasound; prophylactic administration of oxytocin; optimal method for intraoperative diagnosis; use of expectant management; adjuvant therapies for expectant management; use of local surgical resection; type of hysterectomy; use of delayed hysterectomy; intraoperative measures to treat life-threatening hemorrhage; and fertility after conservative management.

Abstract
Background Controlling massive haemorrhage from morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) at caesarean section is a major surgical challenge to obstetricians. This study compares different intra-operative interventions to control haemorrhage from morbidly adherent placenta and its impact on maternal morbidity. Methods Retrospective analysis was done for baseline characteristics, intra-operative and postoperative complications of 125 patients with morbidly adherent placenta who had elective CS at 35–38 weeks gestation in the period from 01/2012 to 01/2017. The included patients were categorized into three groups according to intra-operative interventions they had for controlling bleeding; Group A (n = 42) had only balloon tamponade, Group B (n = 40) had balloon tamponade and bilateral uterine artery ligation, in Group C (n = 43) all cases were managed by bilateral uterine artery ligation and inverting the cervix into the uterine cavity and suturing the anterior and/or the posterior cervical lips into the anterior and/or posterior walls of the lower uterine segment using the cervix as a natural tamponade. Results There were no differences of baseline characteristics of patients in all groups. Group C had significantly better outcomes as compared with groups A and B; less total blood loss (Group C 2869.5 ml vs Group B 4580 ml, Group A 4812 ml, P < 0.001), less requirement of blood transfusion more than 4 units (Group C 4/43, Group B 10/40,Group A 12/42, P < 0.02), significant reduction in prolonged hospital stay over 10 days (Group C 2/43, Group B 9/40,Group A 14/42, P < 0.001) and lower risk of coagulopathy (Group C 4/43, B 8/40, A 9/42), visceral injuries (Group C 4/43 vs B 8/40, A 10/42,P < 0.01) and need for hysterectomy (Group C 4/43 vs B 11/40, A 13/42,P < 0.001). Conclusion A combination bilateral uterine artery ligation and using the cervix as a natural tamponade are very effective and simple methods in controlling bleeding resulting from separated placenta accreta. Trial registration The findings are part of the research project registered in ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02590484. Registered 28 October 2015.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of longitudinal parallel compression suture to control heavy postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in patients with placenta previa/accreta. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen women received a longitudinal parallel compression suture to stop life-threatening PPH due to placenta previa with or without accreta during cesarean section. The suture apposed the anterior and posterior walls of the lower uterine segment together using an absorbable thread A 70-mm round needle with a Number-1 absorbable thread was used. The point of needle entry was 1 cm above the upper margin of the cervix and 1 cm from the right lateral border of the lower segment of the anterior wall. The suture was threaded through the uterine cavity to the serosa of the posterior wall. Then, it was directed upward and threaded from the posterior to the anterior wall at ∼1-2 cm above the upper boundary of the lower uterine segment and 3-cm medial to the right margin of the uterus. Both ends of the suture were tied on the anterior aspect of uterus. The left side was sutured in the same way. RESULTS The success rate of the procedure was 86.7% (13/15). Two of 15 cases were concurrently administered gauze packing and achieved satisfactory hemostasis. All patients resumed a normal menstrual flow, and no postoperative anatomical or physiological abnormalities related to the suture were observed. Three women achieved further pregnancies after the procedure. CONCLUSION Longitudinal parallel compression suture is a safe, easy, effective, practical, and conservative surgical technique to stop intractable PPH from the lower uterine segment, particularly in women who have a cesarean scar and placenta previa/accreta.

Abstract
Although massive haemorrhage at caesarean section (CS) for placenta praevia is a serious concern, effective treatment is not yet determined. We performed a new uterine sandwich to achieve haemostasis at CS for total placenta praevia in five consecutive cases in whom the placenta reached up to >5 cm from the internal cervical os in all directions of an uterine wall. A Matsubara-Yano (MY) uterine compression suture was placed, followed by placement of an intrauterine balloon. Haemostasis was achieved in all five cases with median blood loss of 1618 mL. No short-term adverse events were observed. The MY sandwich can be used to achieve haemostasis at CS for placenta praevia.
