    The suprapubic amniocentesis approach is safer for high-risk pregnancies, showing fewer complications and failures than the periumbilical method. Premature rupture of membranes rates were similar and did not increase risks for mother or infant.

    Area of Science:

    • Perinatology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Amniocentesis is crucial for managing high-risk pregnancies.
    • The procedure carries inherent risks and complications.
    • Different approaches may influence outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the safety and efficacy of suprapubic versus periumbilical amniocentesis.
    • To evaluate complication rates associated with each amniocentesis approach.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving 308 amniocenteses.
    • Inclusion of both suprapubic and periumbilical (small-parts) approaches.
    • Analysis of procedural failures and complication rates.

    Main Results:

    • The suprapubic method demonstrated fewer failures and complications.
    • Rates of premature rupture of membranes were comparable between both methods.
    • No increased risk of respiratory distress syndrome, maternal, or neonatal infection observed following membrane rupture.

    Conclusions:

    • Suprapubic amniocentesis appears to be a safer approach for high-risk pregnancies.
    • Both methods showed similar rates of premature rupture of membranes without adverse neonatal or maternal outcomes.
