Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Kasr Al-Ainy Technique Alone
  1. Vascular Ligation: Bilateral uterine artery tying at high and low levels.
  2. Compression Sutures: Anterior and posterior cervicovaginal stitches for hemostasis.
  3. Segmental Resection: Excision of invaded myometrium and placental tissue.
  4. Dual-Layer Repair: Myometrial approximation followed by reinforcing imbricating sutures.
  5. Final Hemostasis: Confirmation of bleeding control prior to abdominal closure.
