Objective: To review the use of transvaginal ultrasound for the diagnosis of placenta previa and recommend management based on accurate placental localization. Options: Transvaginal sonography (TVS) versus transabdominal sonography for the diagnosis of placenta previa; route of delivery, based on placenta edge to internal cervical os distance; in-patient versus out-patient antenatal care; cercl...

the human placenta has long been the subject of scientific interest due to the important roles which it performs during pregnancy in sustaining the fetus and maintaining fetomaternal tolerance. more recently, however, researchers have begun to investigate the possibility that the placenta’s utility may extend beyond fetal development to act as a source of cells with clinically relevant properti...

Placenta previa can be difficult to diagnose with transabdominal sonography during the third trimester of pregnancy, because of difficulties in imaging the cervix late in pregnancy. Although transperineal sonography offers an additional view of the cervix, its value in the diagnosis of placenta previa has not been studied. Accordingly, we performed transperineal sonography on 164 patients who h...

Several major vascular tissues, such as the aorta-gonad-mesonephros region (AGM), yolk sac, and fetal liver have been confirmed to possess hematopoietic function. Recently, the placenta has been demonstrated as another hematopoietic organ. However, it is not conclusive whether the placenta possesses hematopoietic ability. Therefore, we undertook a series of experiments to study the hematopoieti...

Objective Concurrent placenta previa and placenta accreta increase the risk of massive obstetric hemorrhage. Despite extensive research on the management of placenta previa (including placenta accreta, increta, and percreta), the number and quality of previous studies are limited. We present a case of placenta accreta requiring an induced second-trimester abortion because of premature rupture o...

ABSTRACT
 Introduction: Retained placenta is one of major cause for postpartum haemorrhage. Various medication and routes administration have been reported to increase spontaneous delivery prevent manual removal placenta. Purpose the study compare outcome between misoprostol oxytocin in management retained placenta.
 
 Method: literature searching was done 4 databases (Pubmed, Eb...

Placenta accreta presents one of the highest risks to pregnancy, and its more severe variant, placenta percreta, is particularly risky. The incidence of both conditions is increasing. Placenta percreta requires a cesarean hysterectomy for management, but the challenges associated with this surgery often result in severe obstetric hemorrhaging and high rates of maternal morbidity. Several recent...

BACKGROUND Placenta previa is known to be associated with previous caesarean deliveries, advanced maternal age, increasing parity, smoking, curettage and myomectomy. This study was carried out to compare the frequency of placenta previa, in women with previous caesareans versus those with normal vaginal deliveries. METHODS It was one year study conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gy...

The rate of cesarean delivery in the United States is at an all-time high. With the increased rate of primary and repeated cesarean delivery, a corresponding increase in the occurrence rate of placenta previa and placenta accreta has been observed. The purpose of this case report is to discuss the obstetric disorder of placenta previa with the concurrent occurrence of placenta accreta. A review...
