Anesthetic strategies for manual removal of retained placenta: an observational cohort study at a university referral center

Neuraxial anesthesia was the preferred method for MROP, demonstrating a low failure rate. In contrast, GA was associated with increased morbidity, including higher transfusion requirements, prolonged hospitalization, and greater need for intensive monitoring. The occurrence of airway complications in GA cases underscores the importance of optimizing anesthetic management. Minimizing the use of GA, when feasible, may contribute to improved patient outcomes in MROP procedures.
