OBJECTIVE

Expose the medical and surgical treatment indicated in the University Hospital of Saltillo to patients with placental accreta.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A retrospective, cross-sectional and analytical study, patients treated with a predictive and preventive approach of obstetric hemorrhage were studied in Hospital Universitario de Saltillo during 2015-2017.

RESULTS

10 patients were included, with a mean age of 31 years, 70% had a history of cesarean section and 50% curettage. Transurgical bleeding averaged 1067 cc, an average surgical time of 3.6 hrs, average of transfusion of erythrocyte concentrates was 2.3, Apgar of newborns was reported ≥7, no surgical reoperation was required, no cases were found of maternal death.

CONCLUSIONS

Although the size of the sample is small, we will continue to collect data on what happened with other patients. It is essential to study more cases to have evidence of our treatment proposal with even more solid evidence. There is also a need for prolonged follow-up of patients to determine whether there are late complications or not.
