Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but sometimes unexpected medical complications can make it extremely challenging. One such rare and complicated case of Placenta Previa Accreta was successfully managed at Tender Palm Super-Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, where doctors ensured the safe delivery of the baby while also preserving the mother’s uterus.
Jyoti Singh, a resident of Azamgarh, was going through a difficult pregnancy when doctors diagnosed her with Placenta Previa Accreta, a serious condition in which the placenta lies low in the uterus and attaches abnormally deep into the uterine wall. This condition can lead to severe bleeding during delivery and is often considered life-threatening if not managed properly.
At other hospitals, Jyoti was advised that the safest option might be hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) during delivery due to the high risk of excessive bleeding. This news was extremely distressing for her and her family. Looking for a safer and more advanced treatment option, Jyoti and her family came to Tender Palm Super-Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, where she consulted Dr. Ankita Mani, Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist.
After carefully reviewing her medical reports and evaluating the pregnancy, Dr. Ankita Mani explained that Jyoti’s case was highly complex. Along with Placenta Accreta, the placenta had grown abnormally deep inside the uterus, and the baby was also in a transverse lie position, which further increased the risks during delivery.
Understanding the seriousness of the situation, the medical team at Tender Palm Hospital planned a carefully structured treatment strategy. To reduce the risk of heavy bleeding during the C-section and protect the uterus, the doctors used an advanced and innovative technique known as bilateral internal iliac artery balloon tamponade.
With proper planning, advanced technology, and a skilled multidisciplinary team, the surgery was successfully performed. The technique helped control bleeding effectively and allowed the doctors to safely deliver the baby while preserving Jyoti’s uterus.
After the procedure, both mother and baby were carefully watched and recovered well. Jyoti and her family were deeply thankful to Dr. Ankita Mani and the whole team at Tender Palm Hospital for their expert care and support.
Dr. Ankita Mani highlighted that Placenta Previa Accreta is a very serious pregnancy complication, but with early diagnosis, advanced surgical techniques, and experienced specialists, even such high-risk cases can be managed successfully.
