Objective: To evaluate maternal outcome in placenta accrete spectrum with bilateral internal iliac artery ligation before and
after obstetric hysterectomy.
Study Design: Quasi-experimental study.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Combined Military Hospital, Kharian Pakistan,
from Oct 2022 to Sep 2023.
Methodology: Seventy patients enrolled in the study underwent peripartum hysterectomy. Bilateral Internal Iliac Ligation
was performed before obstetrical hysterectomy in 40 patients of Group -1, whereas it was done after hysterectomy in 37
patients of Group-2. In all cases, the baby was delivered via classical caesarean section, with the placenta left in situ, followed by the closure of the uterine incision. The number of blood transfusions, Intensive care unit stay, post-operative haemoglobin level, post- operative recovery events, and duration of hospital stay, along with demographic details, were noted.
Results: Out of 77 patients, the mean age of patients was 28.79±3.05. Most patients (n=36, 46.8%) had the previous three scars. Fifty-four cases (70.1%) had bladder injury involving mucosa. 22(28.6%) females had post- operative haemoglobin ≤7g/dl. Our study revealed statistically significant differences in the type of bladder injury (p=0.024) and post- operative severe anaemia, i.e. Hb≤7g/dl (p=0.006) among the two groups.
Conclusion: Bilateral internal iliac artery ligation prior to obstetrical hysterectomy leads to a reduction in post-operative severe anaemia and mucosal involvement in bladder injury.
