A new surgical technique "cervical internal os plasty" in cesarean delivery for placenta previa accreta: A case-control study.

ABSTRACT: Placenta previa accreta is an obstetrical complication that severely affects the heath of the fetus and the mother due to massive hemorrhage during pregnancy. This study reported a new suture technique called "cervical internal os plasty" to control obstetrical hemorrhage in cesarean delivery for patients with placenta previa accreta and retrospectively evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the new technique.From January 2012 to May 2018, we collected 56 patients with this new suture technique, which repaired the damaged weak area with bleeding from the placental attachment site in the lower uterine segment, and restored the damaged anatomic internal os of the cervix. Meanwhile, we compared it with 60 cases with other conservative methods described by other obstetricians with the same qualifications. The perioperative outcomes (blood loss, blood transfusion, operative time, other applied medical technology, and so on) between the 2 groups were recorded in this report.There were no significant differences between 2 groups among age, gravidity, parity, gestational age, and previous dilatation and curettage techniques (P?>?.05). Of the patients with placenta previa accrete, 77.6% (90/116) had previous dilatation and curettage. The comparison between study group and control group on the rate of postpartum hemorrhage, blood transfusion, and mean operative time, average hospitalization days after cesarean delivery, expenses was not statistically significant (P?>?.05). Compared with the control group, other applied supplementary techniques (including uterine tamponade, pelvic arterial embolization, or emergency hysterectomy) for the bleeding from the the placental attachment site is fewer significantly in the study group. No operative accident and hemorrhea-related complication occurred in the 2 groups.Cervical internal os plasty is useful in patients with placenta previa accreta due to its simplicity, utility, and effectivity as well as its capacity for preserving fertility.

Project description:Placenta previa and placenta accreta carry significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Several techniques have been described in the literature for controlling massive bleeding associated with placenta previa cesarean sections. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of the cervix as a natural tamponade in controlling postpartum hemorrhage caused by placenta previa and placenta previa accreta.This prospective study was conducted on 40 pregnant women admitted to our hospital between June 2012 and November 2014. All participating women had one or more previous cesarean deliveries and were diagnosed with placenta previa and/or placenta previa accreta. Significant bleeding from the placental bed during cesarean section was managed by inverting the cervix into the uterine cavity and suturing the anterior and/or the posterior cervical lips into the anterior and/or posterior walls of the lower uterine segment.The technique of cervical inversion described above was successful in stopping the bleeding in 38 out of 40 patients; yielding a success rate of 95%. We resorted to hysterectomy in only two cases (5%). The mean intra-operative blood loss was 1572.5 mL, and the mean number of blood units transfused was 3.1. The mean time needed to perform the technique was 5.4?±?0.6 min. The complications encountered were as follows: bladder injury in the two patients who underwent hysterectomy and wound infection in one patient. Postoperative fever that responded to antibiotics occurred in 1 patient. The mean duration of the postoperative hospital stay was 3.5 daysThis technique of using the cervix as a natural tamponade appears to be safe, simple, time-saving and potentially effective method for controlling the severe postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) caused by placenta previa/placenta previa accreta. This technique deserves to be one of the tools in the hands of obstetricians who face the life-threatening hemorrhage of placenta accreta.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02590484 . Registered 28 October 2015.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence and incidence of placenta previa complicated by placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) and to examine the different criteria being used for the diagnosis. DESIGN:Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES:PubMed, Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov and MEDLINE were searched between August 1982 and September 2018. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:Studies reporting on placenta previa complicated by PAS diagnosed in a defined obstetric population. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS:Two independent reviewers performed the data extraction using a predefined protocol and assessed the risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for observational studies, with difference agreed by consensus. The primary outcomes were overall prevalence of placenta previa, incidence of PAS according to the type of placenta previa and the reported clinical outcomes, including the number of peripartum hysterectomies and direct maternal mortality. The secondary outcomes included the criteria used for the prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of placenta previa and the criteria used to diagnose and grade PAS at birth. RESULTS:A total of 258 articles were reviewed and 13 retrospective and 7 prospective studies were included in the analysis, which reported on 587 women with placenta previa and PAS. The meta-analysis indicated a significant (p<0.001) heterogeneity between study estimates for the prevalence of placenta previa, the prevalence of placenta previa with PAS and the incidence of PAS in the placenta previa cohort. The median prevalence of placenta previa was 0.56% (IQR 0.39-1.24) whereas the median prevalence of placenta previa with PAS was 0.07% (IQR 0.05-0.16). The incidence of PAS in women with a placenta previa was 11.10% (IQR 7.65-17.35). CONCLUSIONS:The high heterogeneity in qualitative and diagnostic data between studies emphasises the need to implement standardised protocols for the diagnoses of both placenta previa and PAS, including the type of placenta previa and grade of villous invasiveness.

Project description:BackgroundUterine incarceration is a rare obstetric complication that is always associated with retroversion and prone to misdiagnosis. Pelvic examination and imaging methods including ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used as the primary diagnostic tool. We present an asymptomatic anterior uterine incarceration complicated by placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder, which could be diagnosed during the pregnancy periods, but was first diagnosed during the cesarean section (CS) and got the surgeons into trouble.Case descriptionA 28-year-old woman, gravidity 4, parity 1, was hospitalized due to placenta previa and PAS disorder diagnosed by ultrasound and MRI at 35.6 weeks of gestation. She had not experienced any discomfort. Given her history of a previous CS, she underwent a well-prepared cesarean delivery for the termination of the pregnancy. The patient had a series of periodical ultrasound and MRI examinations in which placenta previa and placenta accreta were described in disregard of the abnormal location of cervix; consequently, interior uterine incarceration was first diagnosed during the surgery, which caused significant difficulties in the operation which lasted 3 hours and 21 minutes. The patient developed severe hemorrhaging and lost approximately 5,000 mL of blood. Fortunately, she delivered a health male infant weighing 3,440 grams with quite good Apgar scores. During the follow-up, maternal and child health was confirmed.ConclusionsWith regard to patients who have undergone previous pelvic surgery, doctors need to pay close attention to the position of the cervix, the pelvic adhesion situation during the prenatal examination, and be on alert for uterine incarceration. Uterine incarceration can be accurately recognized by periodic sonography and MRI if the radiologist is aware of this unusual condition. We do suggest that special are must be taken to avoid unnecessary trauma by misdiagnosis because of lack of awareness.

Project description:ImportancePlacenta previa is widely acknowledged as a risk factor for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders, which are severe maternal complications; however, data are limited regarding whether placenta previa is associated with a higher risk of worse maternal outcomes among patients with PAS disorders.ObjectiveTo examine the association between placenta previa and the risk of severe maternal morbidities (SMMs) and higher resource use among patients with PAS disorders.Design, setting, and participantsThis retrospective cohort study extracted records of 3793 patients with PAS diagnosis and delivery indicators between October 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019, from the US National Inpatient Sample database.ExposuresPlacenta previa.Main outcomes and measuresData on 21 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-defined SMMs and 25 study-defined surgical morbidities associated with PAS were extracted. Six surgical procedures (cystoscopy, intra-arterial balloon occlusion, cesarean delivery, hysterectomy, cystectomy, and oophorectomy), hospital length of stay, and inpatient costs were compared. Multivariable Poisson regression models built in the generalized estimating equation framework were used.ResultsAmong 3793 patients with PAS (median [IQR] age at admission, 33 [29-37] years), 621 women (16.4%) were Black, 765 (20.2%) were Hispanic, 1779 (46.9%) were White, 441 (11.6%) were of other races and/or ethnicities (47 [1.2%] were American Indian, 220 [5.8%] were Asian or Pacific Islander, and 174 [4.6%] were of multiple or other races and/or ethnicities), and 187 (4.9%) were of unknown race and ethnicity. A total of 1323 patients (34.9%) had placenta previa and 2470 patients (65.1%) did not; of those with placenta previa, 405 patients (30.6%) had invasive PAS. Patients with vs without placenta previa had a significantly higher rate and risk of any SMM (935 women [70.7%] vs 1087 women [44.0%]; P < .001; adjusted risk ratio [aRR], 1.19; 95% CI, 1.12-1.27) and any surgical morbidity (1170 women [88.4%] vs 1667 women [67.5%]; P < .001; aRR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.13-1.23). With regard to specific outcomes, those with vs without placenta previa had a significantly higher rate of peripartum hemorrhage (878 patients [66.4%] vs 1217 patients [49.3%]; P < .001), blood product transfusion (413 patients [31.2%] vs 610 patients [24.7%]; P < .001), shock (83 patients [6.3%] vs 108 patients [4.4%]; P = .01), disseminated intravascular coagulation or other coagulopathy (77 patients [5.8%] vs 105 patients [4.3%]; P = .04), and urinary tract injury (44 patients [3.3%] vs 41 patients [1.7%]; P = .002). Patients with vs without placenta previa were more likely to undergo cesarean delivery (1292 patients [97.7%] vs 1787 patients [72.3%]; P < .001), hysterectomy (786 patients [59.4%] vs 689 patients [27.9%]; P < .001), cystoscopy (301 patients [22.8%] vs 203 patients [8.2%]; P < .001), cystectomy (157 patients [11.9%] vs 98 patients [4.0%]; P < .001), and intra-arterial balloon occlusion (121 patients [9.1%] vs 77 patients [3.1%]; P < .001) and to have significantly longer hospital length of stay (median [IQR], 5 [4-11] days vs 3 [3-5] days; P < .001) and total inpatient costs (median [IQR], $17 496 [$10 863-$30 619] vs $9728 [$6130-$16 790]; P < .001). Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy was associated with a decreased risk of placenta previa (aRR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.46-0.96) among patients with PAS.Conclusions and relevanceIn this study, placenta previa was associated with an increased risk of maternal and surgical morbidities and higher resource use among women with PAS. These findings suggest that interventions to alleviate maternal and surgical morbidities are especially needed for patients with placenta previa-complicated PAS disorders.
