TOTAL PLACENTA PREVIA AND PERIPARTUM HYSTERECTOMY – CASE REPORT
Abstract
Background. Postpartum haemorrhage usually occurs due to uterus atonia, adherent placenta, placenta accreta, coagulopathy or uterus rupture. In total placenta previa haemorrhage occurs more often and usually is more severe.
Case report. We presented the example of severe postpartum haemorrhage with parturient woman after scheduled Caesarean section, due to total placenta previa, which was ended by performing hysterectomy.
Conclusions. In postpartum haemorrhage, the treatment is conservative and if there is no improvement timely surgery is required. Abdominal hysterectomy is the final option and in case of severe haemorrhage it proved to be life saving for parturient woman.
