Robotically assisted delayed total laparoscopic hysterectomy for placenta percreta.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence of morbidly adherent placenta has dramatically increased in the setting of the rising cesarean rate in the United States. Delayed surgical management of placenta accreta and its variants is emerging as methods that may significantly decrease bleeding and perioperative complications; however, optimal surgical approaches have not yet been determined. In this report, we present a case of robotic-assisted delayed interval hysterectomy in a patient with placenta percreta.

Method

A minimally invasive approach, via a robotic-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy, was utilized for a 39-year-old gravida 9 para 3 with placenta percreta with placenta left in situ ten weeks after a tertiary cesarean section.

Experience

The robotic approach provided ex
