Morbidly adherent placenta: evaluation of ultrasound diagnostic criteria and differentiation of placenta accreta from percreta
2013
Objectives To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of two-dimensional (2D) gray-scale and color Doppler and three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler sonographic criteria for morbidly adherent placenta (MAP), and to identify criteria to help distinguish placenta accreta from placenta percreta. Methods We enrolled 187 patients with placenta previa and history of uterine surgery and performed transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound examination for early detection of MAP. With 2D gray-scale transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasonography, we investigated loss/irregularity of the echolucent area between the uterus and the placenta (‘clear space’), thinning or interruption of the hyperechoic interface…
L'Isterectomia peripartum: la nostra esperienza
2006
Obiettivo: determinare l’incidenza, l’indicazione e l’associazione con il parto cesareo dell’isterectomia peripartum (I.P.), la morbilità e la mortalità materna e neonatale. Materiale e metodo: sono stati esaminati tutti i casi di isterectomia peripartum osservati presso l’U.O. di Ostetricia e Ginecologia dell’A.O.S. S. Antonio Abate di Trapani dall’1/01/2001 al 31/05/2006. Risultati: sono stati eseguiti 13 interventi di I.P. pari al 2,26‰ parti di cui 46,1% come isterectomia totale, e 53,9% come isterectomia subtotale. Il 69,2% degli interventi praticati e stato eseguito in condizioni d’emergenza mentre il30,8% e stato programmato. Le indicazioni sono state: placenta previa acereta (38,4%)…
Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorder in a Patient with Six Previous Caesarean Deliveries: Step by Step Management
2021
The definition placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS) introduced by FIGO (International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics) indicates an abnormal, pathological adherence or invasion of the placenta. The growing worldwide incidence of this pathological entity, and the possible serious correlated surgical risks, has caused a significant increase in attention among the scientific community. Previous caesarean delivery and presence of placenta previa are the main risk factors for the onset of PAS. Here, we present the intriguing case of a 39-year-old woman, at the 33rd week of gestation, with six previous caesarean sections and with a diagnosis of placenta previa accreta. At our referr…
