Conservative management of two cases of morbidly adherent placenta
Abstract
To present two cases of placenta percreta which were treated with conservative management in our clinic.
Two cases of retained placenta percreta are presented. Treatment was failed in the first case because of
haemorrhage. The second one was treated successfully with the procedures which consisted of caesarean
section with midline abdominal and classic incision in the uterine fundus, internal iliac artery ligation,
prophylactic broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment, suppression of menstrual cycle, use of methotrexate until
the achievement of rapid downtrend of human chorionic gonadotropin, and monitoring the patient until
spontan expulsion or resorbtion of placenta. It may be better to treat the cases of placenta percreta with
conservative management, if the patients are hemodynamically stable and desirable for future fertility.
