New study tests Uterus-Saving approach for dangerous pregnancy condition

This pilot study tests a conservative management strategy for placenta accreta, a serious pregnancy complication where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall. Instead of the standard treatment—a hysterectomy (removing the uterus) after a C-section—doctors will leave the placenta in place and monitor the patient closely. The goal is to see if this approach can safely preserve the uterus in 15 women who want to avoid hysterectomy.
