Placenta Accreta Spectrum
Conditions
Brief summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate different intra-operative procedures to control bleeding in cases of PAS disorders aiming to determine the best procedure regarding maternal morbidity and mortality post-operatively, and to evaluate the long-term effects of conservative management of PAS disorders.
Detailed description
The term placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), formerly known as morbidly adherent placenta or abnormally invasive placenta, refers to the aberrant trophoblast invasion of all or a portion of the placenta into the myometrium of the uterus. according to the depth of the villous invasion into the myometrium, the spectrum is assorted into three groups: placenta accreta (villi attach to the myometrium without invading it), placenta increta (villi infiltrate the myometrium), and placenta percreta (villi pierce through the uterine serosa and may infiltrate the surrounding tissues). The optimal strategy for managing PAS disorders remains debatable. Conservative management of PAS disorders includes all techniques aimed at preserving the uterus. Because intraoperative bleeding from PAS disorders is frequently massive and dramatic, causing severe maternal morbidity and mortality, it is essential to have a well-planned, effective, and rapid approach to this surgical challenge.
