Abstract
The aim of our study was to investigate whether temporary clamping of the bilateral common iliac artery (BCIA) has a role in reducing intraoperative blood loss in patients with segmentally resected anterior placenta percreta or not. This prospective observational study included patients with anterior placenta percreta who underwent cesarean segmental resection either with BCIA temporary clamping or without clamping between October 2022 and September 2023. A comparison of demographic, obstetric, and surgical parameters and the need for transfusion (except for postoperative erythrocyte suspension transfusion) between the two groups revealed no significant difference (P > 0.05). In contrast, the amount of intraoperative blood loss (P = 0.001) (1974 ± 749 mL vs 2702 ± 615 mL) and postoperative erythrocyte suspension transfusion (P = 0.046) in patients who underwent BCIA temporary clamping were significantly lower than in those who did not undergo BCIA temporary clamping. Temporary clamping of BCIA plays a significant favorable role both in reducing blood loss and the need for postoperative transfusion in patients with placenta percreta who underwent segmental uterine resection.
