Tratamiento conservador del acretismo placentario / Conservative management of placenta accreta

Introducción. El acretismo placentario ha aumentado debido al incremento de la cirugía uterina previa (en particular las cesáreas). La conducta ha evolucionado de un abordaje quirúrgico radical a un tratamiento conservador. Caso clínico. Gestante de 26,1 semanas que ingresó por rotura prematura de membranas. A los 3 días se realizó una cesárea por riesgo de pérdida de bienestar fetal apreciando acretismo placentario, dejando un fragmento en el lecho cornual. Dada la ausencia de sangrado se decidió adoptar una conducta expectante. El control clínico posterior fue correcto. Los seguimientos ecográfico e histeroscópico observaron una reducción progresiva del tamaño placentario desapareciendo a los 5 meses posparto. Discusión. El manejo óptimo de la placenta acreta sigue siendo discutido en la literatura médica. En casos seleccionados, deberíamos ofrecer la posibilidad de realizar un tratamiento conservador, reduciendo la morbilidad y preservando la fertilidad de la paciente (AU)

Introduction. Placental accreta has increased because of the greater use of prior uterine surgery, especially cesarean section. Treatment has evolved from a radical surgical approach to conservative management. Case report. A woman at 26.1 weeks of pregnancy was admitted to hospital because of premature rupture of membranes. Three days after a cesarian section was performed for suspected fetal distress, we observed placenta accreta. A fragment of placenta was left in the cornual bed. Given the absence of bleeding, an expectant attitude was adopted. Subsequent follow-up showed no abnormalities. Ultrasound and hysteroscopic monitoring showed a progressive reduction of placental size until its disappearance at 5 months postpartum. Discussion. The optimal management of placenta accreta remains controversial in the literature. In selected cases, we should offer the possibility of conservative treatment, reducing morbidity and preserving the fertility of the patient (AU)

Surgical treatment of mixed urinary incontinence: effect of anterior colpoplasty.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The aims of this study are to study the surgical outcomes in patients with stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) treated with tension-free vaginal tape, and to evaluate the effect of concomitant anterior colpoplasty. METHODS: A total of 134 women with MUI clinical and urodynamic were assessed at 6 months and annually (maximum 9 years) after surgery. RESULTS: As a whole, a complete healing of 49-51% at 3 years is observed, which hence could result in a tax drop of 36.8% at 5-9 years. Nevertheless, the rate of healing or improvement (subjective) is 73.7% at long term (5-9 years). There were no significant differences between the two techniques used: TVT vs TVT-Obturator. On the other hand, we have found significant differences between association of anterior colpoplasty and not (complete healing rate 34.6% vs 64.6%, p = 0.014), at 2 years of monitoring. CONCLUSIONS: MUI with cystocele presents better surgical results for two components of incontinence, with its physiopathogenic implications.
