Abstract
To determine maternal outcomes for women with abnormally invasive placenta (AIP) managed using the Triple P Procedure and establish its safety as a conservative surgical management option. A retrospective study of the outcomes of the first 50 patients who underwent the Triple P Procedure for AIP from September 2010 to May 2017 at St George's Maternity Unit. Maternity case notes and the database were reviewed to determine the volume of bleeding, procedure-related complications, hysterectomy rate, and postoperative hospitalization. Mean operative blood loss was 2318mL (range, 400-7300mL and the incidence of bladder and ureteric injuries was 2% (n=1) and 0%, respectively. Median length of hospital stay was 4days (range, 2-8days). Three women (6.0%) developed arterial thrombosis without any long-term complications and none of the patients required peripartum hysterectomy. The Triple P Procedure should be considered as a conservative, less risky alternative to a peripartum hysterectomy during counselling prior to surgery for women with AIP.
