Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorders: A. Chohan Continuous Squeezing Suture (ACCSS) for Controlling Haemorrhage from the Lower Uterine Segment at Caesarean Section.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To describe the simplicity, efficacy and safety of A. Chohan Continuous Squeezing Suture (ACCSS) for controlling haemorrhage from the lower uterine segment at caesarean section for placenta praevia and accreta spectrum disorders.

Methods

This prospective study was conducted on 47 patients with placenta praevia and accreta spectrum disorders from February 2019 to May 2022 in two teaching hospitals of Lahore and ACCSS was applied. The outcome measures were peripartum hysterectomy procedure time, estimated blood loss, number of blood transfusions, duration of stay in the hospital, bladder trauma, uterine necrosis, pelvic abscess formation, secondary postpartum haemorrhage and maternal mortality. Descriptive statistics were calculated by using SPSS version 21.

Results

Out of 47 patients, 7 (15%) had placenta creta, 29 (61.7%) increta, 11 (23.3%) percreta (grade 3a), and 36 (76.6%) central anterior dominant placenta. Peripartum hysterectomy was prevented in 97.8% of patients. ACCSS procedure time was 5-10 minutes (87.2%), with mean blood loss 2500±485 ml, mean blood transfusion 1.85±1.02 units and mean hospital stay of 3.3±0.84 days. One patient had bladder trauma. There was no case of uterine necrosis, pelvic abscess formation, secondary postpartum haemorrhage or maternal mortality.

Conclusion

ACCSS appears to be a simple, effective and safe treatment option for placenta praevia and accreta spectrum disorders, as an alternative to hysterectomy.

Project description:Background Uterine 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 Description A 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. Conclusions With 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:IntroductionPlacenta accreta spectrum (PAS) may cause enormous and potentially life-threatening hemorrhage in the intrapartum and postpartum periods in emergency cesarean section. How to reduce the occurrence of emergency cesarean section in patients with severe PAS is the key to reducing the adverse outcomes of them. This study aimed to investigate the impact of emergency cesarean section on the perioperative outcomes of pregnant women with PAS and neonates, and also aimed to explore the risk factors of emergency cesarean section in pregnant women with PAS.Materials and methodsA retrospective investigation was conducted among 163 pregnant women with severe PAS. Of these, 72 were subjected to emergency cesarean sections. Data on the perioperative characteristics of the mothers and neonates were collected. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to detect associations between maternal and perioperative characteristics and volume of intraoperative bleeding. Binary logical regression was used to analyze the association between maternal preoperative characteristics and emergency cesarean section. Linear regression analysis is used to analyze the relationship between gestational age and emergency cesarean section.ResultsThe risks of emergency cesarean section increase 98, 112, 124, and 62% when the pregnant women with PAS accompanied by GHD, ICP, more prior cesarean deliveries and more severe PAS type, respectively. Noteworthy, the risk of emergency cesarean section decreases 5% when pre-pregnancy BMI increases 1 kg/m2 (OR: 0.95; CI: 0.82, 0.98; p = 0.038). Moreover, there is no significant linear correlation between emergency cesarean section and gestational age.ConclusionGHD, ICP, multiple prior cesarean deliveries and severe PAS type may all increase the risk of emergency cesarean section for pregnant women with PAS, while high pre-pregnancy BMI may be a protective factor due to less activity level. For pregnant women with severe PAS accompanied by these high risk factors, more adequate maternal and fetal monitoring should be carried out in the third trimester to reduce the risk of emergency cesarean section.
