A Case Report of Emergency Obstetric Hysterectomy after Conservative Management of Placenta Accreta
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Obstetric hemorrhage is a significant and potentially life-threatening complication associated with both vaginal and cesarean deliveries.One common etiology is placenta accreta, a condition characterized by the abnormal adherence of the placenta to the myometrium.The primary modality for diagnosing placenta accreta is ultrasonography, although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often employed to assess the extent of placental invasion.Managing placenta accreta requires a multidisciplinary healthcare team due to its complexity and associated risks.While hysterectomy is frequently the treatment of choice, conservative management approaches may be considered in carefully selected cases.
