Abstract Purpose Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders can cause major intrapartum haemorrhage. The optimal management approach is not yet defined. We analysed available cases from a tertiary perinatal centre to compare the outcome of different individual management strategies. Methods A monocentric retrospective analysis was performed in patients with clinically confirmed diagnosis of PAS between 07/2012 and 12/2019. Electronic patient and ultrasound databases were examined for perinatal findings, peripartum morbidity including blood loss and management approaches such as (1) vaginal delivery and curettage, (2) caesarean section with placental removal versus left in situ and (3) planned, immediate or delayed hysterectomy. Results 46 cases were identified with an incidence of 2.49 per 1000 births. Median diagnosis of placenta accreta (56%), increta (39%) or percreta (4%) was made in 35 weeks of gestation. Prenatal detection rate was 33% for all cases and 78% for placenta increta. 33% showed an association with placenta praevia, 41% with previous caesarean section and 52% with previous curettage. Caesarean section rate was 65% and hysterectomy rate 39%. In 9% of the cases, the placenta primarily remained in situ. 54% of patients required blood transfusion. Blood loss did not differ between cases with versus without prenatal diagnosis (p = 0.327). In known cases, an attempt to remove the placenta did not show impact on blood loss (p = 0.417). Conclusion PAS should be managed in an optimal setting and with a well-coordinated team. Experience with different approaches should be proven in prospective multicentre studies to prepare recommendations for expected and unexpected need for management.

Abstract Placenta accreta (PAS-disorders) is one of the most serious complications of pregnancy, associated with the risk of massive uterine bleeding, massive hemotransfusion and maternal mortality. Peripartum hysterectomy is a common treatment strategy for patients with placenta accreta. Currently, there is a clear trend of changing surgical tactics in favor of organ-saving operations, but there are no studies devoted to anesthesiological support of such operations.The aim of the study is to substantiate an effective and safe method of anaesthesia in organ-saving operations for placenta accreta spectrum disorders.Materia l and methods The study involved 80 patients with a diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum disorders, confirmed intraoperatively, who underwent organ-saving operations. The patients were randomized depending on the method of anesthesia into 3 groups: general anesthesia, spinal anesthesia with planned conversion to general after fetal extraction and epidural anesthesia with planned conversion to general also after fetal extraction. The comparison of intraoperative hemodynamics, efficiency of tissue perfusion, efficiency of antinociceptive protection at the stages of surgery was performed. A comparative analysis of the volume of blood loss and blood transfusion, time of patients activation in the postoperative period, severity of pain on the first day after surgery, duration of hospital stay before discharge and comparison of the assessment of the newborn according to Apgar score at first and fifth minute after extraction.Conclusion The study shows that the optimal method of anesthesia in organ-saving operations for placenta accreta spectrum disorders is epidural anesthesia with its planned conversion to general anesthesia with an artificial lung ventilation after fetal extraction. Such an approach to anesthesia allows to maintain stable hemodynamic profile with minimal vasopressor support, sufficient heart performance, providing effective tissue perfusion and a high level of antinociceptive protection at the intraoperative stage and reduce the volume of intraoperative blood loss and hemotransfusion. In the current study there were no differences in neonatal outcomes and duration of hospitalization depending on the method of anesthesia. The advantage of epidural anesthesia with its conversion to general anesthesia was earlier activation after surgery and lower intensity of postoperative pain syndrome.

Introduction: Placenta accreta spectrum disorders are among the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality and their prevalence is likely to increase in the future. The risk of placenta accreta spectrum disorders is highest in cases of placenta previa overlying a previous cesarean section scar. Few studies have evaluated placenta accreta spectrum disorders in Portugal. The aim of this study was to review the cases of placenta accreta spectrum overlying a cesarean section scar managed in a Portuguese tertiary center over the last decade.Material and Methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional study, with data collected from hospital databases. Only cases with histopathological confirmation of placenta accreta spectrum were included.Results: During the study period, 15 cases of placenta accreta spectrum overlying a cesarean section scar were diagnosed (prevalence 0.6/1000). All cases were diagnosed antenatally. A transverse cesarean section was present in all cases; 13 were managed by a scheduled multidisciplinary approach, while two required emergent management. Total or subtotal hysterectomy was performed in 12 cases. There were no cases of maternal or neonatal death. Histopathological evaluation confirmed nine cases of placenta accreta, three cases of placenta increta and three cases of placenta percreta.Discussion: Early antenatal diagnosis is important for a programmed multidisciplinary management of these cases, which may reduce potential morbidity and mortality and ensure better obstetric outcomes.Conclusion: This case series of placenta accreta spectrum overlying a cesarean section scar reports the reality of a tertiary-care perinatal center in Portugal, in which no maternal or neonatal mortality due to placenta accreta spectrum was registered over the last decade; this may be attributed to prenatal diagnosis and a coordinated multidisciplinary team approach.
