Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the multifaceted, long-term needs of placenta accreta spectrum survivors.
- To advocate for expanded, individualized care models.
Main Methods:
- Literature review on PAS patient outcomes.
- Analysis of patient recovery trajectories.
- Multidisciplinary care model synthesis.
Main Results:
- PAS survivors experience prolonged physical and psychological recovery.
- Fertility loss following hysterectomy is a significant source of grief.
- Care transitions between specialists are often uncoordinated.
Conclusions:
- Long-term well-being requires individualized care pathways extending beyond standard postpartum support.
