Surgical Classification of Abnormal Placentation

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Adherent Placenta
• Interventions: Device: Trans- abdominal sonography; Device: Trans-vaginal sonography; Procedure: post-operative pathological specimen examination

• Registration Number: NCT02736058
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

Reaching the proper pre-operative diagnosis for abnormal placentation in crucial to markedly decrease the intra-operative complications as well as the maternal morbidity and mortality. In this trial researchers aim to set up some pre-operative sonographic criteria that would help in planning the surgical procedure as well as setting up a surgical classification for the abnormally adherent placenta.

Group	Intervention	Description
Participants	Trans-vaginal sonography	the included pregnant females will undergo trans-abdominal sonography as well as trans-vaginal sonography , to diagnose the abnormal placentation and the results will be compared to the intra- operative as well as the pathological examination of the specimen.
Participants	post-operative pathological specimen examination	the included pregnant females will undergo trans-abdominal sonography as well as trans-vaginal sonography , to diagnose the abnormal placentation and the results will be compared to the intra- operative as well as the pathological examination of the specimen.
