Summary: The study found that postpartum blood loss is not correlated with the duration of the third stage of labor in women with retained placenta. However, a shorter third stage (< 60 minutes) was associated with significantly increased uterine atony and the need for blood transfusion. Uterine atony was significantly associated with greater decrease in hemoglobin, higher measured blood loss, postpartum hemorrhage, and need for blood transfusion.

Summary: This case report highlights the importance of diagnosing and managing placenta increta as a potential cause of delayed postpartum hemorrhage, emphasizing the need for careful inspection and documentation of placenta implantation site during cesarean sections.

Summary: Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal morbidity and death worldwide, with cesarean section history and placenta previa associated with an increase in blood transfusion. There was no significant difference in maternal BMI and gestational age between the mass blood transfusion group and the non-mass blood transfusion group.

Summary: A predictive risk model for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in patients with placenta retention was constructed, and independent risk factors were identified, including being in a low-income country (i.e., Uganda), delivering retained placentas in the theater, and partially or manually removing the placenta.

Summary: This study investigated the predictive role of rotational thromboelastogram (ROTEM) parameters on the progression of persistent postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in parturients with placenta previa. The results showed that the level of postoperative FIBTEM A5 can serve as a biomarker for prolonged PPH and massive transfusion following Cesarean section.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of retained products of conception (RPOC) in women with placenta previa. The results showed that RPOC was closely associated with severe postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), and prior cesarean section (CS) and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) were identified as risk factors for RPOC. Additionally, RPOC was also associated with risk factors for severe PPH. Therefore, a new strategy for RPOC in placenta previa is needed.

Summary: The study found that retained placenta with hemorrhage may be a risk marker for cardiovascular disease and certain cancers in future mothers, while placenta accreta and retained placenta without hemorrhage were not associated with these outcomes.

Summary: The efficacy of TAE for PPH complicated by DIC has been investigated in this study. While effective hemostasis was achieved in all cases, the complete success rate of TAE was lower in patients with DIC as the condition worsened than in non-DIC patients. Overall, TAE is effective as a minimally invasive treatment for PPH complicated by DIC.

Summary: This systematic review of studies between 1990 and 2020 on risk factors for retained placenta revealed that maternal age, previous cesarean sections, previous dilation and curettage, and previous retained placenta are the main independent risk factors for this condition. Additional risk factors such as previous estro-progestins therapy and morphological placental features were also identified. More prospective studies are needed to provide clearer insights into this potentially life-threatening complication.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of MRI for placental adhesion disorder and massive postpartum hemorrhage, showing high sensitivity and specificity for both conditions. The addition of MRI features to clinical assessment and ultrasound significantly improved the accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis for PAD and massive PPH.

Summary: This case report describes a female patient diagnosed with right ovarian vein infectious thrombophlebitis after cesarean section. The case highlights the need to consider the potential relationship between abdominal incision hematoma and ovarian vein thrombophlebitis. Treatment included anti-inflammatory drugs and anticoagulant therapy.

Summary: This study analyzed cases of peripartum hysterectomies at Oslo University Hospital from 2008 to 2017, finding that uterine atony and retained placenta are the leading causes of these procedures. Risk factors such as advanced maternal age, previous cesarean section, multiple pregnancies, and placenta previa were associated with a higher likelihood of peripartum hysterectomy.

Summary: This study explored the interactions between cervical length (CL) and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) on severe postpartum hemorrhage (SPPH) in patients with placenta previa. It was found that there was a negative linear dose-response relationship between CL and SPPH, and the change in odds ratio (OR) was more significant when CL was 2.5 cm or less. When CL of 2.5 cm or less co-existed with placenta increta/percreta, the risk of SPPH was significantly higher, and there might be an additive interaction between CL and placenta increta/percreta on SPPH.

Summary: Acute urologic complications are rare but significant events that can occur during caesarean section surgeries. Prior caesarean section is the major risk factor for these complications.
