Use of Anti-Arcuate Compression Suturing in Pernicious Placenta Previa with Accrete Spectrum Disorders: A Surgical Technique.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of anti-arcuate suture in treating pernicious placenta previa. MATERIAL AND METHODS We selected 81 patients diagnosed with singleton pregnancy with pernicious placenta previa at Suzhou Municipal Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018. Among them, 41 patients treated with anti-arcuate suture were assigned to the study group, and the other 40 patients were treated with conventional suture were assigned to the control group. RESULTS Compared with traditional suture, anti-arcuate suture significantly reduced blood loss and blood transfusion, and anti-arcuate suture also reduced postoperative complications. In the control group, 7 women underwent hysterectomy, but only 1 woman underwent hysterectomy in the study group. CONCLUSIONS Anti-arcuate suture in pernicious placenta previa can reduce postpartum hemorrhage and reduce postoperative complications.
