Hysteroscopic Follow-up Following Conservative Stepwise Surgical Approach for Management of Placenta Previa Accreta

January 8, 2024 updated by: Mahmoud Mohamed Ghaleb, Ain Shams Maternity Hospital

Long-term Follow up of the Cases Who Underwent Conservative Surgery for Placenta Previa Accreta: a Prospective Case Series Study

Conservative management of placenta accreta spectrum can preserve future fertility but should only be done in hospitals with enough experience as it carries a high risk of maternal complications.

Follow up after conservative management is crucial to detect complications early.

Detailed Description

Placenta accreta is defined histopathologically as abnormal trophoblast invasion of part or all of the placenta into the myometrium of the uterine wall.1 Depending on the depth of villous tissue invasiveness, placenta accreta was subdivided by pathologists into "creta", "increta", and "percreta", in which the villi adhere superficially to the myometrium without interposing decidua, penetrate deeply into the uterine myometrium, and perforate through the entire uterine wall and may invade the surrounding pelvic organs, respectively.

The term placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) will be used in this manuscript to include both the abnormally adherent and the invasive forms of accreta placentation. Severe and sometimes life-threatening hemorrhage, which often requires blood transfusion, increases maternal morbidity and mortality.
