Placenta accreta

This study tested whether filling the bladder with a blue dye before surgery helps surgeons avoid accidentally injuring the bladder or ureters during a cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta. Sixty women were randomly assigned to receive the dye or standard care. The goal was…

This study looked at whether a fast blood test (ROTEM) done during surgery for placenta accreta can help doctors decide when to give blood transfusions. 32 women took part, with half getting the rapid test and half getting standard lab tests. The goal was to see if the rapid test…

This study tested a new surgical method to remove very large uteri (over 20 weeks size) during total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The technique uses a cold knife to cut the uterus into a long strip that can be pulled out through the vagina, avoiding large abdominal incisions. Twent…

This study tested a simple technique called cystoinflation—filling the bladder with 200 mL of saline during surgery—to see if it prevents bladder injury in women with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). 84 women were randomly assigned to receive the bladder fill or standard surgery.…

This study looked at whether a substance in the blood called adropin can help identify placenta accreta spectrum, a serious condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb. Researchers measured adropin levels in 84 pregnant women—42 with the condition and 42 healthy—t…

This study tested whether a special ultrasound using contrast dye can better diagnose placenta accreta, a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb and can cause severe bleeding after birth. Researchers studied 80 pregnant women at high risk for this condition. …

This study tested the safety and effectiveness of the DEXTER robotic system in 52 patients having a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and related surgery for non-cancerous conditions. The main goals were to see if the robotic procedure could be completed without switching to o…

This study looks at how the womb lining heals after different types of womb-sparing surgery for placenta accreta, a serious pregnancy condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb wall. Researchers will use a small camera (hysteroscopy) three months after surgery to…

This completed study examined levels of certain proteins and growth factors in the placentas of 48 women with placenta previa or placenta percreta during the third trimester. Researchers measured substances like decorin, laminin, and collagen in placental tissue and blood samples…

This study looked at pregnant women at high risk for placenta accreta, a serious condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb. Researchers wanted to find out which factors, such as how the condition is diagnosed and managed, affect the mother's health. Over 600 wom…

This study tested a special stitch device (STRATAFIX Spiral PDS Plus) used in robot-assisted surgeries for weight loss (sleeve gastrectomy) and hysterectomy. 161 adults took part. The main goal was to see how well it controlled bleeding after stitching. Doctors also rated how eas…

This study compared robot-assisted laparoscopy using the Senhance Surgical System to conventional laparoscopy for hysterectomy and other uterine surgeries. Researchers measured operating time, blood loss, and safety in 78 patients. The goal was to see if the robot offers advantag…

This study tested whether starting a hysterectomy by cutting the back of the vagina (posterior colpotomy first) helps keep the vagina longer compared to the usual method. Eighty women having a hysterectomy for non-cancer reasons took part. The main goal was to measure any differe…

This study tested whether a special ultrasound scoring system (Placenta Accreta Index) can help doctors decide the safest type of surgery for pregnant women with placenta accreta, a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb. Researchers studied 154 women with pl…
