Overview
Brief Summary
study will be carried out on patients with placenta accreta spectrum having done uterine conservation and recording immediate outcome of conservation regarding success of the procedure, amount of blood loss and amount of blood transfused and followed up to check the return of menses, any uterine abnormalities by ultrasound or hysteroscopy especially isthmocele and intrauterine synechia.
Detailed Description
After institutional review board approval and written informed consent, recruited cases will be subjected to the following: 1. Data registration including: * Age. * Obstetric history including gravidity, parity, number of previous cesarean deliveries, and number and gender of living children. * Details of the current pregnancy including duration in menstrual weeks, any problems encountered during its course. * Desire for future fertility. * Medical, surgical, and medication history. 2. Anthropometry including weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy and at the time of operation. 3. General examination including vital signs, and signs of any associated problems. 4. Routine laboratory investigations with particular emphasis on complete blood count, Coagulation profile and including blood glucose level, renal and liver function tests. 5. Detailed sonographic examination to evaluate fetal biometry, and wellbeing rule out exclusion factors, and confirm diagnosis of PAS and assess the degree of invasion, and its severity using both trans-abdominal transducer with frequency of 2-5 megahertz (MHZ) and trans-vaginal transducer with frequency of 4-10 MHZ. Intraoperative details will be documented. Follow up of patients will be recorded. Sample size was calculated by estimating a single proportion distribution at a significance level of 0.05.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
abnormal uterine bleeding
Time Frame: from 2 to 6 months after surgery
record the presence of abnormal uterine bleeding after the return of menses such as intermenstrual bleeding, menorrhagia
isthmocele
Time Frame: from 3 to 6 months after surgery
trans-vaginal and trans-abdominal ultrasound will be done to record the presence of isthmocele, its shape and ratio between residual myometrium and total myometrium
date of resumed menses
Time Frame: from 2 weeks to 6 months after surgery
calculate the duration from surgery until menses returns
puerperal blood loss
Time Frame: 48 hours until 2 months after surgery

menstrual abnormalities
Time Frame: from 2 to 6 months after surgery
record type of menstrual abnormalities if present such as amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea and dysmenorrhea
pelvic pain
Time Frame: from 2 to 6 months after surgery
record the presence of pelvic pain and its duration
intrauterine adhesions
Time Frame: from 3 to 6 months after surgery
outpatient hysteroscopy will be done to symptomatic patients after consent in order to check uterine cavity recording the presence of intrauterine adhesions, and categorization of adhesions according to american fertility society into mild, moderate and severe
contraception use
Time Frame: intraoperative until 5 months after surgery
recording method of contraception used
fibrosis
Time Frame: from 3 to 6 months after surgery
grey scale ultrasound will be done to record size of intra-myometrium fibrosis
