A 27-year-old woman experienced severe postpartum hemorrhage due to retained placenta after an uncomplicated delivery. Despite medical and surgical interventions, a subtotal hysterectomy was ultimately required to control the bleeding.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Retained placenta is a significant cause of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).
  • Placental accreta spectrum (PAS) complicates placental management and increases PPH risk.
  • Previous adnexal surgeries may influence placental implantation and management outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 27-year-old primigravida presented with retained placenta and severe PPH post-vaginal delivery.
  • Laparotomy for manual removal revealed placental accreta.
  • The patient had a history of two prior adnexal operations.

Findings:

  • Pharmacological management with oxytocin and sulprostone was ineffective in controlling hemorrhage.
  • A right cornual resection also failed to achieve hemostasis.
  • Subtotal hysterectomy became necessary to manage the life-threatening bleeding.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the challenges in managing PPH secondary to PAS, especially in patients with prior pelvic surgeries.
  • Aggressive management, including hysterectomy, may be unavoidable in refractory cases.
  • Further research into risk factors and novel treatment strategies for PAS-related PPH is warranted.
