Study Arms (2)

stepwise uterine devascularization

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Uterine hemostatic sutures, through examination of the placental bed, may use some hemostasis at the placental bed,"overswing" was commenced using endo-uterine sutures. If there is still significant bleeding, bilateral uterine artery ligation, and internal iliac artery ligation when needed.BUAL started immediately through blunt dissection downwards and laterally of the peritoneum covering the uterine isthmus and cervix. The peritoneum is mobilized freely at the uterine angles to expose both uterine arteries and avoid inclusion of the ureters in the ligation. The uterine artery pulsations were palpated digitally at the level of the internal os.

Procedure: stepwise uterine devascularization

A glove-loaded Foley's catheter

EXPERIMENTAL

A glove-loaded Foley's catheter tamponade, the internal os of the cervix was identified and a double-way 20 Fr Foley's catheter with a 30-50-ml balloon was inserted through the cervix to be handled by an assistant through the vagina and fixed to the patient's lower limb after inflation of the catheter balloon by 300 ml warm saline and pulling it against the lower uterine segment between the two transverse sutures. Only one glove-loaded Foley's catheter was used for tamponade.

Model Details: The study was single-blind randomized controlled trial carried out in a tertiary University Hospital between June 2018to June 2021. Investigators included patients scheduled for CS due to complete placenta previa. They were randomly allocated to the group (I) managed by stepwise uterine devascularization, group (II) managed by A glove-loaded Foley's catheter tamponade. The primary outcome was the amount of intraoperative estimated blood loss.
