Abstract

Abstract : ( Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2016;215(5):640.e1–640.e8) Peripartum hysterectomy can be a life-saving procedure for women with postpartum hemorrhage when other interventions have failed. The procedure itself, however, can be fatal with the risk of death ranging from 1% to 6%. Women with a suspected placenta accreta/percreta are considered to be at high-risk for peripartum hysterectomy, and are often referred to tertiary centers where this procedure is frequently performed.
