There are few methods to control heavy intra-operative bleeding during cesarean delivery of placenta previa. Transient occlusion of uterine arteries (TOUA) during operation has previously been reported as a quick and safe method to control intra-operative uterine bleeding. We reported 2 cases of cesarean delivery with complete placenta previa in which TOUA was performed to safely reduce intra-o...

Postpartum hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is an unusual complication that presents with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure after delivery. In this report, we describe a 32-year-old patient (gravida 3, para 1, artificial abortion 1) who developed postpartum HUS following abruptio placenta. After cesarean delivery due to abruptio placenta, the patient de...

OBJECTIVE To determine the correlation between placental position at 20-23 weeks and incidence of birth complications caused by placental position. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In an ongoing prospective study, placental position was determined by transabdominal sonography as part of anomaly scanning at 20-23 gestational weeks, followed by transvaginal sonography in uncertain or suspicious situations....

Retained placenta is a common complication of the third stage of labor. Most literature has focused on management of a trapped placenta or placenta accreta. The most common source of a trapped placenta is from a partial closure of the cervix and/or a contracted lower uterine segment. We present an unusual case of a retained placenta trapped in a septate uterus. The management included unsuccess...

Placenta previa totalis can cause life-threatening massive postpartum hemorrhage, and careful anesthetic management is essential. Preventive uterine artery embolization (UAE) before placental expulsion was introduced to reduce postpartum bleeding in cases of placenta previa totalis. We describe the case of a 40-year-old woman (gravida 0, para 0) with placenta previa totalis and uterine myomas w...
