Conservative management of placenta accreta: hysteroscopic resection of retained tissues.

Study Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and the results of hysteroscopic removal of tissue after conservative management of retained placenta accreta.

Design: Retrospective study (Canadian Task Force classification II-3).

Setting: Tertiary care university hospital.

Evaluation of the two intraoperative examination methods for sentinel lymph node assessment: a multicentric and retrospective study on more than 2,000 nodes.

Background: Intraoperative frozen section (FS) and imprint cytology (IC) are currently used to detect sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis, allowing for complete dissection when necessary.

Materials And Methods: A 2-year retrospective chart review was performed for patients who underwent SLN procedure in five French hospitals. The FS and IC results were compared to the definitive histology in order to calculate the sensitivity, specificity and false-negative rate.
