The authors reported the results from a retrospective investigation of 10121 deliveries for a three-year period (1981-1983) as well as from a prospective study of 6239 child-births during a three-year period after a 20-year-long time lag, i.e., in 2000-2002. The cases with early post-partum hemorrhages (EPH) and with accomplished laparotomy were examined. The causes for EPH, the obstetric therapeutic measures and manipulations prior to the laparotomy as well as the surgical interventions after opening the abdomen were considered. The authors emphasized that 20 years ago three uteri only could be "saved" by means of ligation of the uterine vessels. A hysterectomy was carried out in 21 cases with massive EPH after the laparotomy. After two decades the situation changed dramatically. The hysterectomies amounted to only 22.22% of the cases (n = 4) while in the rest females (n = 14) the copying of the massive hemorrhages was performed by means either of stepwise ligation of the uterine vessels, or of ligation of the hypogastric ones in 3 cases with additional vaginal lacerations. It was outlined that mother's mortality rate was zero during these two periods. The conclusion has been drawn that the ligation of the uterine vessels represents an alternative to the hysterectomy when copying the EPH and preserves the child-bearing functions of some females because of the subsequent vascular recanalization.

Background: Cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum disorder may be associated with severe hemorrhage because of placental invasion of the myometrium and the uterovesical space or parametrium. It leads to serious complications, such as massive hemorrhage requiring massive transfusion, coagulopathy, bladder and ureteric injuries, need for intensive care unit admission and prolonged hospital stay. To reduce the complications of cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum disorder, ongoing efforts are being made to develop different surgical approaches.

BACKGROUND Cowden syndrome is a genetic disorder that predisposes individuals to cancer and is characterized by hamartomas derived from 3 germ layers. Although the clinical signs can be pathognomonic, diagnosis is often aided by biopsies, histopathological examination of oral and cutaneous lesions, and genetic studies, including multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). CASE REPORT We report a case of a 35-year-old woman who manifested with multiple lesions in the buccal mucosa, dorsum of the tongue, and gums, along with papillomatous papules on her facial skin and the dorsal surfaces of her hands.

Introduction And Clinical Importance: Placenta previa (PP) is characterized by abnormal placental placement in the lower uterine segment, obstructing the cervical opening. Placenta previa totalis (PPT) occurs when the placenta completely covers the internal cervical os. This condition can lead to placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), where the placenta adheres abnormally to the uterine wall, complicating separation.

Objective: To assess and compare the clinical efficacy of scar pregnancy debridement by a combination of reversible bilateral uterine and internal iliac artery blockade with hysterolaparoscopy, as a management strategy for cesarean scar pregnancy.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with cesarean scar pregnancy who underwent combined surgical intervention involving hysteroscopy and laparoscopy between May 2020 and February 2024. The study population was divided into two groups based on the type of arterial blockade used: a uterine artery blockade group and an internal iliac artery blockade group.

Here, we describe two cases of retained products of conception (RPOC) that were successfully managed with hysteroscopic resection after laparoscopic temporary uterine artery ligation. Both patients were diagnosed with RPOC after early miscarriages. Case 1 was urgently admitted due to massive bleeding and underwent surgery following a blood transfusion.
