AbstractBackground: Conservative methods for the management of placenta accreta spectrum disorders includes all the methods which aims to reduce the morbidity associated with peripartum hysterectomy, intraoperative complications, blood loss during surgery and mainly to preserve future fertility. These methods are to be practiced as much as possible in appropriate cases after weighing risks and benefits.
Objective: To report two cases of placenta accreta which were managed by uterine artery embolization followed by caesarean section in a hybrid operation theatre in our tertiary care centre.
Cases: This is a case series of two cases of pregnant women who were diagnosed to be having placenta accreta spectrum disorder. Here, we describe the steps and outcomes of the above-mentioned method.
Conclusion: Uterine artery embolization prior to caesarean section in selected cases of placenta accreta spectrum disorders is a feasible and advantageous procedure. It decreases the operating time, intraoperative blood loss and complications, and ICU stay. Larger studies may be needed to confirm the advantages.
