Kasr Alainy simplified conservative uterine surgery for abnormally
invasive placenta (AIP): surgical technique
Abstract
The incidence of placenta accreta has risen significantly owing to
global surge in caesarian section rates. It is associated with
significant morbidities and mortality and is usually managed with
caesarean hysterectomy (CsH). Uterine preserving conservative surgeries
have advantages over CsH and leaving placenta in-situ techniques. We
present a new conservative surgery technique that was applied on 20
patients with abnormally invasive placenta. It was successful in 90% of
cases for preservation of the uterus. It was associated with relatively
low blood loss and morbidity outcomes. Our simplified easy to learn
technique can be useful especially for countries with limited resources.
