Planned conservative management of placenta accreta - experience of a regional general hospital.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
February 2014
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the conservative management of placenta accreta in a district general hospital, differing from previous reports from university hospitals that had higher success rates.
- Among 15 women with placenta previa over a cesarean scar, 80% were confirmed to have accreta during surgery, and the majority retained a significant amount of placenta while preserving their uterus.
- Most women experienced complications requiring readmission, and the resolution of the retained placenta took an average of 6.6 months, indicating the effectiveness of this management approach despite challenges.

Direct laryngoscopy was performed with a size 3 Macintosh laryngoscope and the Flexiblade, with and without activation of the lever.
