To study feasibility and safety of Total lower uterine segmentectomy with cervico-corporeal anastomosis in conservative management of placenta accreta

Full description

Placenta accreta represents a real challenge in modern obstetric care as its incidence is increasing in a parallelism with increased CSs rates. Its management represents another challenge and a multidisciplinary team with clear plans and alternative strategies that fulfill different situation and address different patient needs must be clearly settled in every referral center dealing with placenta accreta.

Hysterectomy without trials of placental separation seems to be the standard and logical procedure. However hysterectomy needs to be a total or at least including the entire invaded Lower uterine segment. Hysterectomy is associated with significant blood loss, and loss of future fertility. There are several fertility conservation approaches with variable success rates, complications, technical demands and costs.

Uterine plication sutures has been reported as successful uterine conservation strategy but subsequent intrauterine adhesions, weak uterine scar and uterine necrosis might culminate in a functionless uterus.

The present work describes total lower uterine segmentectomy with cervical-corporeal anastomosis as a relatively less invasive uterine conservation strategy with minimization of blood loss and transfusion needs. Furthermore, total lower uterine segmentectomy with cervico-corporeal anastomosis has the merits of leaving behind a strong scar and a well-functioning uterus.
