CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC ASPECTS PLACENTA PREVIA IN PREGNANT WOMEN

Connecon of the publicaon with planned research works.The tle of the PhD thesis, of which the work is a part "Opmizaon of surgical treatment of placenta previa". Introducon.The placenta is a vital organ that facilitates the con-necon between the maternal and fetal systems, and its anatomical posion plays a crucial role in the healthy progression of pregnancy and delivery.One of the serious obstetric disorders is placenta previa, which is de-ned by the abnormal implantaon of the placenta in the lower uterine segment [1,2,3,4].This condion is associated with a high risk of antepartum hemorrhage, preterm delivery, complicaons during cesarean secon, and other adverse outcomes for both the mother and the fetus [5,6].The incidence of placenta previa varies depending on several factors, including maternal age, mulple pregnancies, the presence of uterine scars, and the use of assisted reproducve technologies (ART), among others.Despite advances in diagnosc tools and treatment protocols, placenta previa remains a signicant clinical challenge in modern obstetrics, demanding a deeper exploraon of its clinical and diagnosc dimensions [7].The relevance of studying placenta previa lies in its substanal contribuon to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.According to the World Health Organizaon (WHO), hemorrhages associated with placenta previa are among the leading causes of maternal death, parcularly in low-resource se ngs, where mely access to specialized obstetric care may be limited [8].Advancements in ultrasound technology and other imaging modalies over the past decades have signicantly enhanced the diagnosc capabilies for placenta previa [9].Nonetheless, despite these technological
