Organ-preserving Operations on Uterus with Placenta Accreta: Clinical Experience

Introduction. The aim of our work was to improve surgical delivery procedures in patients with a true placenta accreta.

Materials and methods. We analysed 17 childbirth histories of patients who underwent organ-preserving surgeries on uterus during placenta rotation in 2018-2019. The choice of an optimal tactic for managing patients in the department of pregnancy pathology at the BSMU clinic, as well as each case of the surgical treatment of placenta accrete, was carried out jointly with specialists from I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University.

Results and discussion. All patients underwent surgery in a planned manner; their age and parity had no static differences (p > 0.1). The surgery performed according to the described technique did not lead to a significant increase in its duration. Additionally, the average blood loss of 2200 ml during surgery was not considered significant for this type of operations. We believe that these indicators will decrease with the accumulation of practical experience in performing such interventions.

Conclusion. The applied method of surgical intervention using temporary occlusion of the common iliac arteries has shown a high efficiency and allowed the amount of intraoperative blood loss to be reduced. Despite performing a bottom incision on the uterus to remove the fetus and excise the area of placenta rotation, the examined patients did not experience significant complications both during the surgery and in the early and late postoperative period. The first results allow this technique to be recommended as a method of choice during placenta rotation The monitoring of patients will continue.
