Introdução: O acretismo placentário consiste na aderência anormal da placenta parede do útero. Quando se insere diretamente no miométrio, chama-se acreta; ao atingir a camada miometrial mais profundamente, denomina-se increta, e quando atinge serosa uterina ou órgãos adjacentes é denominada percreta. fator de risco relevante presença cesarianas anteriores. Relato caso: Paciente 20 anos, Gesta: ...

is more sensitive but requires two steps [two rounds of amplification (PCR LDR) are needed]. The costs for setup are larger (PCR primers and three labeled oligonucleotides are needed per SNP) with respect to PCR/RFLP and allele-specific PCR but are similar for the TaqMan assay. The main advantage consists in the inherent multiplexing capability that can increase throughput, which decreases cost...

AIM To assess the usefulness of a new method for cesarean section (CS) that is comprised of a transverse incision into the uterine fundus, developed for women with placentas covering the entire anterior uterine wall, and introduced in September 2006. MATERIAL AND METHODS Review of medical records of 12 and 29 women who underwent CS by the new and conventional methods, respectively, for placen...

The incidence of morbidly adherent placentas has increased ten-fold in the past 50 years, currently occurring at a frequency of 1 per 1000–2500 deliveries1,2. It is contributing to a large proportion of postpartum hemorrhages (PPH) and has led to some maternal mortalities and several surgical interventions. Current management of morbidly adherent placentas – accreta, increta and especially perc...

Fifty years ago, placenta accreta was an obstetric rarity. Today, however, placenta accreta and its variations represent one of the principal causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. That this is the case is often attributed to the increased number of cesarean deliveries, but close examination of the numbers involved suggests that other factors may also be in operation. The potential for the...
