ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, there has been a rapid increase in the total cesarean birth rates. The rate of placenta accreta is increasing, and previous cesarean delivery is the most common risk factor. Labor is a major challenge in cases with an abnormally invasive placenta, considering the risk of massive blood loss during cesarean delivery and patient wishes for uterine preservation. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We retrospectively obtained clinical data and surgical outcomes of high-risk cases of placenta previa totalis and placenta accreta admitted between March 2018 and September 2020. A multidisciplinary discussion was conducted before surgery. We also constructed an organizational flowchart detailing this decision-making process.RESULTS:
Patients who underwent cesarean delivery for suspected placenta accreta or placenta previa totalis with clinical risk factors were reviewed. No patient required an emergency hysterectomy or intensive care unit admission.CONCLUSION:
We shared our experience of multidisciplinary decision-making by presenting high-risk cases of placenta previa totalis with clinical risk factors or suspected placenta accreta. Based on our multidisciplinary decision-making process, all patients were discharged without complications.Key words
