Leaving Placenta In Situ for Management of Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorder
The majority of patients with PAS who were managed by leaving the placenta in situ did not experience complications of infection or bleeding necessitating hysterectomy. Leaving placenta in situ may be appropriate to offer as an alternative to cesarean hysterectomy in those desiring uterine preservation or those who have PAS with concern for life-threatening bleeding if cesarean hysterectomy is performed. These results should be interpreted with caution given the small sample size, which could preclude detection of rare but potentially serious complications.
