Cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum: Surgeon specialty-specific assessment. Gynecol Oncol 2024; 186:85-93. [PMID: 38603956 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess (i) clinical and pregnancy characteristics, (ii) patterns of surgical procedures, and (iii) surgical morbidity associated with cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum based on the specialty of the attending surgeon. METHODS The Premier Healthcare Database was queried retrospectively to study patients with placenta accreta spectrum who underwent cesarean delivery and concurrent hysterectomy from 2016 to 2020. Surgical morbidity was assessed with propensity score inverse probability of treatment weighting based on surgeon specialty for hysterectomy: general obstetrician-gynecologists, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, and gynecologic oncologists. RESULTS A total of 2240 cesarean hysterectomies were studies. The most common surgeon type was general obstetrician-gynecologist (n = 1534, 68.5%), followed by gynecologic oncologist (n = 532, 23.8%) and maternal-fetal medicine specialist (n = 174, 7.8%). Patients in the gynecologic oncologist group had the highest rate of placenta increta or percreta, followed by the maternal-fetal medicine specialist and general obstetrician-gynecologist groups (43.4%, 39.6%, and 30.6%, P < .001). In a propensity score-weighted model, measured surgical morbidity was similar across the three subspecialty groups, including hemorrhage / blood transfusion (59.4-63.7%), bladder injury (18.3-24.0%), ureteral injury (2.2-4.3%), shock (8.6-10.5%), and coagulopathy (3.3-7.4%) (all, P > .05). Among the cesarean hysterectomy performed by gynecologic oncologist, hemorrhage / transfusion rates remained substantial despite additional surgical procedures: tranexamic acid / ureteral stent (60.4%), tranexamic acid / endo-arterial procedure (76.2%), ureteral stent / endo-arterial procedure (51.6%), and all three procedures (55.4%). Tranexamic acid administration with ureteral stent placement was associated with decreased bladder injury (12.8% vs 23.8-32.2%, P < .001). CONCLUSION These data suggest that patient characteristics and surgical procedures related to cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum differ based on surgeon specialty. Gynecologic oncologists appear to manage more severe forms of placenta accreta spectrum. Regardless of surgeon's specialty, surgical morbidity of cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum is significant.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate maternal and neonatal outcomes in subsequent pregnancies of women with a history of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) compared with women without history of PAS. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective cohort study conducted at a single tertiary center between March 2011 and January 2022. We compared women with a history of PAS who had uterine preservation surgery and a subsequent pregnancy, to a control group matched in a 1:5 ratio. The primary outcome was the occurrence of a composite adverse outcome (CAO) including any of the following: uterine dehiscence, uterine rupture, blood transfusion, hysterectomy, neonatal intensive care unit admission, and neonatal mechanical ventilation. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to evaluate associations with the CAO. RESULTS During the study period, 287 (1.1%) women were diagnosed with PAS and delivered after 25 weeks of gestation. Of these, 32 (11.1%) women had a subsequent pregnancy that reached viability. These 32 women were matched to 139 controls. There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the study and control groups. Compared with controls, the proportion of CAO was significantly higher in women with previous PAS pregnancy (40.6 vs. 19.4%, p = 0.019). In a multivariable logistic regression analysis, previous PAS (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 3.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.09-10.02, p = 0.034) and earlier gestational age at delivery (aOR = 3.53, 95% CI = 2.27-5.49, p < 0.001) were independently associated with CAOs. CONCLUSION A history of PAS in a previous pregnancy is associated with increased risk of CAOs in subsequent pregnancies. KEY POINTS · The uterine-preserving approach for PAS delivery is gaining more attention and popularity in recent years.. · Women with a previous pregnancy with PAS had higher rates of CAOs in subsequent pregnancies.. · Previous PAS pregnancy is an independent factor associated with adverse outcomes..

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated maternal and fetal outcomes of emergency uterine resection versus planned segmental uterine resection in patients with placenta percreta (PPC) and placenta previa (PP). METHODS Patients with PP and PPC who underwent planned or emergency segmental uterine resection were included in this study. Demographic data, hemorrhagic morbidities, intra- and postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, surgical duration, and peri- and neonatal morbidities were compared. RESULTS A total of 141 PPC and PP cases were included in this study. Twenty-five patients (17.73%) underwent emergency uterine resection, while 116 (82.27%) underwent planned segmental uterine resections. The postoperative hemoglobin changes, operation times, total blood transfusion, bladder injury, and length of hospital stay did not differ significantly between groups (P=0.7, P=0.6, P=0.9, P=0.9, and P=0.2, respectively). Fetal weights, 5-minute Apgar scores, and neonatal intensive care unit admission rates did not differ significantly between groups. The gestational age at delivery of patients presenting with bleeding was lower than that of patients who were admitted in active labor and underwent elective surgery (32 weeks [95% confidence interval [CI], 26-37] vs. 35 weeks [95% CI, 34-35]; P=0.037). CONCLUSION Using a multidisciplinary approach, this study performed at a tertiary center showed that maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality did not differ significantly between emergency versus planned segmental uterine resection.

Abstract
Placenta accreta spectrum encompasses cases where the placenta is morbidly adherent to the myometrium. Placenta percreta, the most severe form of placenta accreta spectrum (grade 3E), occurs when the placenta invades through the myometrium and possibly into surrounding structures next to the uterine corpus. Maternal morbidity of placenta percreta is high, including severe maternal morbidity in 82.1% and mortality in 1.4% in the recent nationwide U.S. statistics. Although cesarean hysterectomy is commonly performed for patients with placenta accreta spectrum, conservative management is becoming more popular because of reduced morbidity in select cases. Treatment of grade 3E disease involving the urinary bladder, uterine cervix, or parametria is surgically complicated due to the location of the invasive placenta deep in the maternal pelvis. Cesarean hysterectomy in this setting has the potential for catastrophic hemorrhage and significant damage to surrounding organs. We propose a step-by-step schema to evaluate cases of grade 3E disease and determine whether immediate hysterectomy or conservative management, including planned delayed hysterectomy, is the most appropriate treatment option. The approach includes evaluation in the antenatal period with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging to determine suspicion for placenta previa percreta with surrounding organ involvement, planned cesarean delivery with a multidisciplinary team including experienced pelvic surgeons such as a gynecologic oncologist, intra-operative assessment including gross surgical field exposure and examination, cystoscopy, and consideration of careful intra-operative transvaginal ultrasound to determine the extent of placental invasion into surrounding organs. This evaluation helps decide the safety of primary cesarean hysterectomy. If safely resectable, additional considerations include intra-operative use of uterine artery embolization combined with tranexamic acid injection in cases at high risk for pelvic hemorrhage and ureteral stent placement. Availability of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta is ideal. If safe resection is concerned, conservative management including planned delayed hysterectomy at around 4 weeks from cesarean delivery in stable patients is recommended.

Abstract
Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is one of the most dangerous conditions in pregnancy and is increasing in frequency. The risk of life-threatening bleeding is present throughout pregnancy but is particularly high at the time of delivery. Although the exact cause is unknown, the result is clear: Severe PAS distorts the uterus and surrounding anatomy and transforms the pelvis into an extremely high-flow vascular state. Screening for risk factors and assessing placental location by antenatal ultrasonography are essential for timely diagnosis. Further evaluation and confirmation of PAS are best performed in referral centers with expertise in antenatal imaging and surgical management of PAS. In the United States, cesarean hysterectomy with the placenta left in situ after delivery of the fetus is the most common treatment for PAS, but even in experienced referral centers, this treatment is often morbid, resulting in prolonged surgery, intraoperative injury to the urinary tract, blood transfusion, and admission to the intensive care unit. Postsurgical complications include high rates of posttraumatic stress disorder, pelvic pain, decreased quality of life, and depression. Team-based, patient-centered, evidence-based care from diagnosis to full recovery is needed to optimally manage this potentially deadly disorder. In a field that has relied mainly on expert opinion, more research is needed to explore alternative treatments and adjunctive surgical approaches to reduce blood loss and postoperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Placenta accreta spectrum disorders are a continuum of placental pathologies with significant maternal morbidity and mortality. Morbidity is related to the overall degree of placental adherence, and thus patients with placenta increta or percreta represent a high-risk category of patients. Hemorrhage and transfusion of blood products represent 90% of placenta accreta spectrum morbidity. Both tranexamic acid and uterine artery embolization independently decrease obstetrical hemorrhage. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to provide an evidence-based intraoperative protocol for placenta accreta spectrum management. STUDY DESIGN This study was a pre- and postimplementation analysis of concomitant uterine artery embolization and tranexamic acid in cases of patients with antenatally suspected placenta increta and percreta over a 5-year period (2018-2022). For comparison, a 5-year (2013-2017) preimplementation group was used to assess the impact of the uterine artery embolization and tranexamic acid protocol for placenta accreta spectrum. Patient demographics and clinically relevant outcomes were obtained from electronic medical records. RESULTS A total of 126 cases were managed by the placenta accreta spectrum team, of which 66 had suspected placenta increta/percreta over the 10-year time period. Two patients were excluded from the postimplementation cohort because they did not undergo both interventions. Thus, 30 (30/64; 47%) were treated after implementation of the uterine artery embolization and tranexamic acid protocol for placenta accreta spectrum, and 34 (34/64; 53%) preimplementation patients did not undergo uterine artery embolization or tranexamic acid infusion. With the uterine artery embolization and tranexamic acid protocol, operative times were longer (416 vs 187 minutes; P<.01), and patients were more likely to receive general anesthesia (80% vs 47%; P<.01). However, blood loss was reduced by 33% (2000 vs 3000 cc; P=.03), overall blood transfusion rates decreased by 51% (odds ratio, 0.05 [95% confidence interval, 0.001-0.20]; P<.01), and massive blood transfusion (>10 units transfused) was reduced 5-fold (odds ratio, 0.17 [95% confidence interval, 0.02-0.17]; P=.02). Postoperative complication rates remained unchanged (4 vs 10 events; P=.14). Neonatal outcomes were equivalent. CONCLUSION The uterine artery embolization and tranexamic acid protocol for placenta accreta spectrum is an effective approach to the standardization of complex placenta accreta spectrum cases that results in optimal perioperative outcomes and reduced maternal morbidity.

Abstract
This commentary discusses the issues related to conservative management (also called leaving the placenta in situ or intentional retention of the placenta) of placenta accreta spectrum disorders. Considerations related to placenta accreta spectrum disorder management in the United States are compared with France, where conservative management is a well-accepted management option. The history of placenta accreta spectrum disorder treatment is reviewed, finding that since 1937, the most common treatment in the United States been cesarean-hysterectomy without placental removal. Although definitive studies have yet to be conducted, a growing body of evidence suggests that conservative management is able to reduce maternal morbidity, compared with cesarean-hysterectomy. International and national guidelines from several countries are examined. Comparisons between the United States and France that are addressed in the commentary include population and geography, structure of the healthcare system, physician training and acceptability, and patient acceptability. Considering the differences between the countries, conservative management is feasible in the United States. Different options for placenta accreta spectrum disorder management should be rigorously researched in multicenter international collaborations. Conservative management should be considered as an option for women with placenta accreta spectrum disorders in the United States, especially for those desiring fertility preservation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the maternal and neonatal outcomes of expected and unexpected pathologically proven placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) cases in a single multidisciplinary center. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of 92 PAS cases from January 2011 until September 2021. Only cases with histopathologically invasive placentation were included in the study. The cases diagnosed at the time of delivery were defined as unexpected PAS (uPAS) and those diagnosed antenatally as expected PAS (ePAS). Maternal and neonatal outcomes of both groups were compared. RESULTS Thirty-five (38%) of 92 cases were in the uPAS group. Placenta previa and high-grade PAS (percreata) were significantly higher in the ePAS group (p=0.028, p<0.001; respectively). The mean packed red blood cell transfusion was significantly higher in the uPAS group (p=0.030) but transfusions of other blood products were similar in the two groups. There was no significant difference in intraoperative complication rates between the two groups. Preterm delivery (<37 weeks) was significantly higher in the ePAS group (p<0.001), but there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of adverse neonatal outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Our single center data show that although ePAS cases include more highly invasive PAS cases, maternal hemorrhagic morbidity is lower than uPAS cases. Reducing maternal morbidity in PAS cases can be achieved by increasing antenatal diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) is an invasive placental disorder characterized by significant maternal and fetal morbidity. Utilization of multidisciplinary teams has been shown to optimize patient outcomes. Our objective was to assess the impact of cesarean hysterectomy performed by gynecologic oncologists versus Ob/Gyn specialists in maternal morbidity. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed of singleton, non-anomalous pregnancies complicated by PAS University of Texas Health San Antonio Placenta Accreta program from 2010 to 2021. Our primary outcome was a maternal morbidity composite of any of the following: estimated blood loss >2 L, ICU admission, intraoperative acidosis and post-operative length of stay >4 days. In addition, demographic and pregnancy data were obtained. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the individual impact of variables such as general anesthesia, episodes of vaginal bleeding, uterine artery embolization, emergent delivery and placenta percreta pathology. RESULTS 122 pregnancies complicated by PAS who underwent cesarean hysterectomy were identified from 2010 to 2021. Gynecologic oncologists were the primary surgeons for 62 (50.8%) of these cases. The involvement of gynecologic oncologists increased over the time period from 16% to 80%. Gynecologic oncologists were more like to be involved in cases with an antenatal diagnosis of placenta percreta (11.7 vs 37.1%, p = 0.001) and these cases were characterized by increased composite maternal morbidity (65 vs 83.9%, p = 0.02). These cases were also significantly longer (151 vs 271 min, p < 0.0001), involved greater usage of urinary stents (36.7 vs 66.1%, p = 0.002) and had longer post-operative lengths of stay (3 vs 4 days, p < 0.0001). PAS cesarean hysterectomies by gynecologic oncologists were less likely to be supracervical (25 vs 3.2%, p = 0.0005). Multivariate analysis controlling for placenta percreta, uterine artery embolization, vaginal bleeding and emergent delivery showed no difference in composite maternal morbidity (aOR = 0.95, 95%CI [0.35-2.52]) and lower rates of intraoperative acidosis (aOR = 0.36, 95%CI [0.14-0.93]) or post-operative length of stay >4 days (aOR = 0.37, 95%CI [0.15-0.91]). CONCLUSIONS Gynecologic oncologists play a critical role in the surgical management of PAS cesarean hysterectomies. When compared to Ob/Gyn specialists, gynecologic oncologists are more likely to act as primary surgeons in complex cases similar morbidity and greater post-operative outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) has increased, but the optimal management and the optimal way to achieve vascular control are still controversial. This study aims to compare maternal outcomes between different methods of vascular control in surgical PAS management. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study on consecutive cases diagnosed with PAS between 2013 and 2020 in single tertiary hospital. The final diagnosis of PAS was made following preoperative ultrasound and confirmation during surgery. Management of PAS using cesarean hysterectomy with internal iliac artery ligation (IIAL) was compared with two types of vascular control in uterine conservative-resective surgery (IIAL vs identification-ligation of the upper vesical, upper vaginal, and uterine arteries). RESULTS Over an 8-year period, 234 pregnant women were diagnosed with PAS meeting the inclusion criteria. Uterine conservative-resective surgery (200 cases) was associated with lower mean blood loss compared with cesarean hysterectomy with IIAL (34 cases) in all PAS cases (1379 ± 769 mL vs 3168 ± 1916 mL; p < 0.001). In sub-analysis of the two uterine conservative-resective surgery subgroups, the group with identification-ligation of the upper vesical, upper vaginal, and uterine arteries had a significantly lower blood loss compared with uterine conservative-resective surgery with IIAL (1307 ± 743 mL vs 1701 ± 813 mL; p = 0.005). Women in the hysterectomy with IIAL group had more massive transfusion (35.3% vs 2.5%; p < 0.001; odds ratio [OR] 21.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 6.9-66), major blood loss (>1500 mL) (70.6% vs 34%, p < 0.001; OR 4.7; 95% CI 2.1-10.3), catastrophic blood loss (>2500 mL) (64.7% vs 12.5%;p < 0.001; OR 12.8, 95% CI 5.7-29.1), other complications (32% vs 12.4%; p = 0.007; OR 3.4, 95% CI 1.5-7.7), and intensive care unit admission (32.4% vs 1.5%; p < 0.001; OR 31.4, 95% CI 8.2-120.7) compared with the uterine conservative-resective surgery groups. The identification-ligation of the upper vesical, upper vaginal and uterine arteries had a significant lower risk for major blood loss (30.5% vs 50%; p = 0.041; OR 0.44, 95% CI = 0.2-0.9) compared with IIAL for vascular control of uterine conservative-resective surgery. CONCLUSIONS Cesarean hysterectomy is not the default treatment for PAS, PAS with invasion above the vesical trigone are suitable for uterine conservative-resective surgery with upper vesical, upper vaginal and uterine artery vascular control.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes and to identify risk factors for emergent cesarean delivery and planned cesarean delivery in patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders in Vietnam.The medical records of patients admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of PAS disorders >5 years were retrospectively reviewed.A total of 255 patients with PAS disorders were identified, including 95 cases in the emergent delivery group and 160 cases in the planned delivery group. The percentage of complete/partial placenta previa in the planned delivery group was significantly higher than that in the emergent delivery group (59.22% vs 32.16%, P = .027). Fewer patients in the planned group had vaginal bleeding compared with those in the emergent group (29 vs 36 cases, P < .001). The percentage of blood transfusion was similar between the 2 groups; however, the transfused units of pack red blood cells were greater in the emergent delivery group (5.3 ± 0.33 vs 4.5 ± 0.25 U, P = .036). When considering the neonatal outcomes, the data demonstrated that the planned delivery group had a significantly higher birth weight and a lower rate of preterm delivery than the emergent group (P < .001). The mean gestational age at delivery for the emergent group was 35.1 ± 0.27 weeks compared with 38.0 ± 0.10 weeks for the planned group (P < .001). The increased risk factors for emergent delivery were vaginal bleeding (odds ratio 2.86, 95% confidence interval 1.59-5.26) and preterm delivery (odds ratio 5.26, 95% confidence interval 2.13-14.29).Planned delivery is strongly associated with a lower need for blood transfusion and better neonatal outcomes compared with emergent delivery. Antenatal vaginal bleeding and preterm labor are risk factors for emergent delivery among patients with PAS disorders. Based on the results of this study, we recommend that the management strategies for patients with PAS disorders should be individualized to determine the optimal timing of delivery and to decrease the rate of emergent cesarean delivery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to compare clinical outcomes and use of interventions in women with suspected accreta based on the degree of antenatal suspicion. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study of women with suspected accreta from 2007 to 2019. Included patients had one or more imaging studies suggestive of accreta. Cases were classified as "lower risk" if imaging showed possible signs of accreta including mild or superficial myometrial infiltration, an abnormal uterine contour, an abnormal uteroplacental interface, or loss of the retroplacental hypoechoic zone and "higher risk" if there was clear evidence of more than superficial myometrial infiltration, placental tissue extruding beyond the uterine serosa, bridging vessel(s), or placental lacunae with high velocity and/or turbulent flow. The primary study outcome was a composite maternal morbidity including cesarean hysterectomy, transfusion of blood or blood products, unintentional cystotomy, or intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Chi-square, Fisher's exact test, and Mann-Whitney U-test were used for analysis. RESULTS A total of 78 women had a suspected accreta on imaging, 36 with "lower risk" features and 42 with "higher risk" features. There were no differences in baseline maternal demographics. Women in the "higher risk" group were more likely to have a placenta previa (p < 0.01) and preoperative consultation with gynecologic oncology (p = 0.04). There was a significant difference in composite maternal morbidity between patients with "lower risk" and "higher risk" features of accreta on imaging (50 vs. 92.9%, p < 0.01). Median gestational age at planned and actual delivery were earlier in the "higher risk" group (36.6 vs. 34.9 weeks, p < 0.01; 36.0 vs. 34.7 weeks, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Stratification of women with suspected accreta based on imaging corresponded to rates of maternal morbidity and operative complications, and appears to have been used clinically in selecting timing of delivery and interventions. KEY POINTS · Increased morbidity with high risk accreta imaging.. · Interventions correlate with accreta imaging risk.. · Imaging can be used to stratify accreta cases..

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The study's aim was to assess MRI, in cases in which MRI was deemed clinically necessary, to determine its diagnostic accuracy for placental adhesion disorder (PAD) and prognostic accuracy for massive postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Additionally, we investigated the diagnostic utility of MRI in the antenatal workup of PAD as an adjunct to clinical assessment and ultrasound. MATERIALS AND METHODS. We retrospectively identified patients who underwent antenatal MRI for suspicion of PAD. Images were reviewed by two radiologists who were blinded to surgical and pathologic outcomes. Diagnostic utility of various clinical, ultrasound, and MRI features of PAD were estimated by ROC analysis. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess various diagnostic models for PAD and prognostic models for massive PPH, with model selection based on Bayesian information criterion. RESULTS. Fifty-six patients met the inclusion criteria. Sensitivity and specificity of MRI in the diagnosis of PAD were 93% and 81%, respectively. The most accurate MRI features for PAD were myometrial thinning (AUC = 0.881), heterogeneous placenta (AUC = 0.864), and placental bulge (AUC = 0.845). The most accurate MRI features for massive PPH were heterogeneous placenta (AUC = 0.872) and dark intraplacental bands (AUC = 0.736). The addition of MRI to a model based on clinical and ultrasound features was preferred for both diagnosis of PAD and prognosis of massive PPH. CONCLUSION. This study shows the utility of certain MRI features for identification of PAD and massive PPH. Furthermore, our data show a substantial incremental benefit of the addition of MRI in the antenatal workup for PAD compared with clinical assessment and ultrasound alone.

Abstract
Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders have been on the rise in recent years with increasing caesarean rates. The purpose of this prospective observational study was to describe our detection rates and to review outcomes in PAS after the introduction of an institutional screening and management protocol. Twenty-one patients with suspected PAS over 5 years were identified. 20/21 patients had an accurate determination of placental invasion and positive correlation with surgical and histopathological examination. Early morbidity (massive haemorrhage) was found in 7/21 patients, whilst late morbidity (hospital readmission) was found in 5/21 patients. There were no maternal deaths and admissions to intensive therapy unit (ITU). In summary, our centre demonstrated a high antenatal detection rate for PAS using an evidence-based protocol. This has led to timely intervention by an experienced multidisciplinary team and excellent outcomes. Immediate and delayed postoperative counselling was effective for optimal patient understanding and experience.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? With rising caesarean section rates, the incidence of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders is increasing. Despite this, most obstetricians have personally managed only a small number of patients with PAS. Moreover, there appears to be some debate over the optimal diagnostic and management strategy.What do the results of this study add? As the incidence increases, development of institutional screening and management protocol is a necessity for large units. Timely diagnosis, extensive pre and postoperative counselling and multidisciplinary teamwork ensure reduced early and late morbidity.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Evidence based screening protocols for PAS disorders reduce the likelihood of undiagnosed cases and should be developed in every unit. Consideration must also be given to standardisation of the diagnostic and management protocols, including contingency plan for emergencies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of a new surgical approach for uterine preservation among patients with placenta accreta spectrum in a low-resource setting. METHODS The present prospective cohort included 63 women diagnosed with placenta accreta spectrum undergoing cesarean deliveries who desired future fertility at the obstetrics department of Menoufia University Hospital from January 2018 to November 2019. Surgical management involved direct bilateral uterine arteries clamping below placental bed after broad ligament opening by round ligaments division and ligation and gentle downward dissection of vesical from myometrial tissues from lateral aspect toward trigone of the bladder. Outcomes included intraoperative and postoperative adverse events, hysterectomy rate, and postoperative hospitalization. RESULTS Mean operative blood loss was 1860 ± 537 mL (range, 1040-3111 mL) and the incidence of bladder and ureteric injuries were 6.3% (n = 4) and 0%, respectively. The mean length of hospital stay was 4.46 ± 1.39 days. Overall, 7 patients (11.1%) required postoperative blood transfusion, and 2 patients (3.2%) required ICU admission. Five patients required peripartum hysterectomy (7.9%). CONCLUSION Our conservative surgical approach is a safe alternative to peripartum hysterectomy with high uterine preservation rate, less intraoperative and postoperative morbidity and less need for blood transfusion in low resource settings.

Abstract
Purpose: Management of patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) varies widely, and scarce data exist concerning its management. The current study compared two different surgical approaches in the management of PAS: the B-lynch approach (Group A) compared to the endovascular balloon catheters (Group B)Methods: A retrospective cohort study in two tertiary university-affiliated hospitals between the years 2004 and 2015. Elective cesarean section was planned at 35-37 weeks of gestation. One center utilized the B-lynch approach and the second utilized the endovascular balloon catheter approach.Results: The cesarean hysterectomy rate was significantly higher in the Group A approach compared to Group B (36.1 versus 29.2%, p = .00). The number of packed cells units administered during and postoperatively were higher in the Group A compared with Group B (p = .006 and .043, respectively). Overall, surgery length and hospitalization duration were shorter in patients who underwent cesarean hysterectomy compared with those who underwent uterine preservation (B-lynch or endovascular balloon catheters) (p = .000 and p = .004, respectively).Conclusions: The endovascular balloon technique seems to be a better option for uterine preservation due to less blood loss and higher postoperative hemoglobin level. Nevertheless, for those women who have completed their family planning, cesarean hysterectomy with the placenta left in situ is the safer and more suitable option.

Abstract
Abnormal placentation often requires the involvement of a multidisciplinary team of medical caregivers. Practicing Obstetrics is a challenging and skillful duty. This is more obvious in cases of abnormal placentation, which represents one of the most dangerous and complex clinical conditions in materno-fetal medicine. Pathological placentation involves position and invasion abnormalities and represents a serious and potentially life-threatening condition for both the pregnant woman and the fetus. The dramatic increase in cesarean section rates is an important factor which could explain the rapid raise in abnormal placentation cases, which were considered rare a few years ago. Nevertheless, the scientific armamentarium sometimes seems to be poor and this could be explained by the fact that treatment options are offered too late, since this condition is often detected late, entailing higher patients' risks. In fact, the later the diagnosis is made the poorer the prognosis is for cases of abnormal placentation. Given that abnormal placentation is constantly increasing, the scientific community should aim at early diagnosis and appropriate management of such cases based on the best evidence available. Future improvement of knowledge and practice lies in perspective, preferably randomized studies so that we obtain high quality of evidence which is still needed. The purpose of this study is to review the current literature and to update the available scientific knowledge on the topic of abnormal placentation which is an emerging issue which clinicians should learn to deal with, considering its continuous increase in the last years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare blood loss and the use for blood transfusion between elective (planned) and emergent cesarean hysterectomy performed for placenta accreta by a single, multidisciplinary team and to present the team's pre-operative evaluation and the surgical technique. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study at a single tertiary care center. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were compared between elective and emergent delivery of pregnancies complicated by placenta accreta. The primary outcomes were the need for blood transfusion and the number of units transfused. RESULTS A total of 28 cases of confirmed placenta accreta underwent peripartum hysterectomy, including 22 as elective and 6 as emergent. Eleven out of 22 (50%) subjects in the elective group received blood transfusion, while all subjects in the emergency group required transfusion (p = 0.03). More importantly, the number of units of packed red blood cells transfused was only 1.90 (±2.20) units in the elective cases compared to 7.83 (±4.90) units in cases performed emergently (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Elective cesarean hysterectomy for this indication using a clearly outlined surgical approach is associated with significantly lower blood loss and hence less need for transfusion, compared to its emergent counterpart.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anesthesia practices for placenta previa (PP) and accreta (PA) impact hemorrhage management and other supportive strategies. We conducted a survey to assess reported management of PP and PA in all Israeli labor and delivery units. METHODS After Institutional Review Board waiver, we surveyed all 26 Israeli hospitals with a labor and delivery unit by directly contacting the representatives of obstetric anesthesiology services in every department (unit director or department chair). Each director surveyed provided information about the anesthetic and transfusion management in their labor and delivery units for three types of abnormal placentation based on antenatal placental imaging: PP, low suspicion for PA, and high suspicion for PA. The primary outcome was use of neuraxial or general anesthesia for PP and PA Cesarean delivery. Univariate statistics were used for survey responses using counts and percentages. RESULTS The response rate was 100%. Spinal anesthesia is the preferred anesthetic mode for PP cases, used in 17/26 (65.4%) of labor and delivery units. By comparison, most representatives reported that they perform general anesthesia for patients with PA: 18/26 (69.2%) for all low suspicion cases of PA and 25/26 (96.2%) for all high suspicion cases of PA. Although a massive transfusion protocol was available in the majority of hospitals (84.6%), the availability of thromboelastography and cell salvage was much lower (53.8% and 19.2% hospitals respectively). CONCLUSIONS In our survey, representatives of anesthesia labor and delivery services in Israel are almost exclusively using general anesthesia for women with high suspicion for PA; however, almost two-thirds use spinal anesthesia for PP without suspicion of PA. Among representatives, we found wide variations in anesthesia practice patterns with regard to anesthesia mode, multidisciplinary management, and hemorrhage anticipation strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the association between conservative treatment for placenta accreta and subsequent pregnancy outcomes. METHODS In a retrospective study, data were analyzed on women who received conservative treatment for placenta accreta (removal of the placenta with uterine preservation) at a tertiary hospital in Jerusalem, Israel, between 1990 and 2000. Data were collected on subsequent pregnancies and neonatal outcomes until 2010, and compared with those from a matched control group of women who did not have placenta accreta. RESULTS A total of 134 women were included in both groups. Placenta accreta occurred in 62 (22.8%) of 272 subsequent deliveries in the study group for which data were available and 5 (1.9%) of 266 in the control group (relative risk [RR] 12.13; 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.95-29.69; P<0.001). Early postpartum hemorrhage occurred in 23 (8.6%) of 268 deliveries in the study group and 7 (2.6%) of 268 in the control group (RR 3.29; 95% CI 1.43-7.53; P<0.001). The odds ratio for recurrent placenta accreta in subsequent deliveries in the study group was 15.41 (95% CI 6.09-39.03; P<0.001). CONCLUSION Although subsequent pregnancies after conservative treatment for placenta accreta were mostly successful, the risk of recurrent placenta accreta and postpartum hemorrhage is high in future deliveries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with suspected placenta accreta have improved outcomes with scheduled delivery. Our objective was to identify risk factors for unscheduled delivery in patients with suspected placenta accreta. STUDY DESIGN This was a cohort study of women with antenatally suspected placenta accreta. Women who delivered prior to a planned delivery date were compared with women who had a scheduled delivery. Data were analyzed using a Student t test, χ(2), logistic regression, and survival analyses. Variables included in the analyses were episodes of antenatal vaginal bleeding, preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), uterine contractions, prior cesarean deliveries, interpregnancy interval, parity, and patient demographic factors. A value of P < .05 was considered significant. RESULTS Seventy-seven women with antenatal suspicion for placenta accreta were identified. Thirty-eight (49.4%) had an unscheduled delivery. Demographics were similar between groups. Unscheduled patients delivered earlier (mean 32.3 vs 35.7 weeks, P < .001) and were significantly more likely to have had vaginal bleeding (86.8% vs 35.9%, P < .001) and uterine activity (47.4% vs 2.6%, P < .001). Each episode of antenatal vaginal bleeding was associated with an increased risk of unscheduled delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 3.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.8-7.8). Risk of earlier delivery was even greater when associated with PPROM (P < .001). CONCLUSION Among women with suspected placenta accreta, those with antenatal vaginal bleeding were more likely to require unscheduled delivery. This risk increases further in the setting of PPROM and/or uterine contractions. These clinical factors should be considered when determining the optimal delivery gestational age for women with placental accreta.

Abstract
Placenta accreta is an abnormal adherence of the placenta to the uterine wall that can lead to significant maternal morbidity and mortality. The incidence of placenta accreta has increased 13-fold since the early 1900s and directly correlates with the increasing cesarean delivery rate. The prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta by ultrasound along with risk factors including placenta previa and prior cesarean delivery can aid in delivery planning and improved outcomes. Referral to a tertiary care center and the use of a multidisciplinary care team is recommended.
