Management of bleeding from morbidly adherent placenta during elective repeat caesarean section: retrospective -record -based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Controlling massive haemorrhage from morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) at caesarean section is a major surgical challenge to obstetricians. This study compares different intra-operative interventions to control haemorrhage from morbidly adherent placenta and its impact on maternal morbidity.
