Experience with the Hellp-Syndrohe

A total of 13 patients with HELLP-Syndrome were treated between 1980 and 1986 at the Mainz University Gynecology Clinic. The course of disease, complications, and fetal outcome observed do not permit generalized recommendations concerning treatment of this syndrome. The treatment plan should rather be based on the Individual situation, whereby the cesarean section has proven to be the preferred mode of delivery in almost all cases.
