Pregnancy can sometimes become extremely challenging when serious complications arise. One such rare and high-risk case was successfully treated at Tender Palm Super-Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, where doctors managed a complicated pregnancy involving Placenta Previa, Placenta Accreta, and Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) while safely delivering the baby and preserving the mother’s uterus.
Rashmi Kumari, a resident of Gaya, Bihar, was expecting her baby when doctors diagnosed her with Placenta Previa Accreta during pregnancy. In this condition, the placenta lies low in the uterus and abnormally attaches deep into the uterine wall. Along with this, the baby was also diagnosed with IUGR, meaning the baby’s growth inside the womb was slower than normal. Because of the high risk of severe bleeding during delivery, Rashmi was advised at other hospitals that removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) might be necessary to save her life.
Concerned about the possibility of losing her uterus, Rashmi and her family searched for a safer treatment option. On the recommendation of well-wishers, they came to Tender Palm Super-Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, and consulted Dr. Ankita Mani, Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist.
After meticulously reviewing all her reports and conducting a detailed evaluation, Dr. Ankita Mani confirmed the diagnosis of Placenta Previa Accreta with fetal growth restriction. She explained to the family that this was a highly complicated pregnancy and required detailed planning, advanced surgical techniques, and a skilled multidisciplinary team to guarantee the safety of both mother and baby.
To handle the high risk of bleeding and protect the uterus, the medical team planned a special method during the C-section surgery. They used a technique called bilateral internal iliac artery balloon tamponade, which helps control heavy bleeding during delivery.
With careful preparation and teamwork among pregnancy doctors, anesthesia experts, and baby care specialists, the surgery was done successfully. The special technique helped lower blood loss, save the uterus, and safely deliver a healthy baby.
Both mother and baby recovered well after the procedure and were kept under close observation. Soon, Rashmi was stable, comfortable, and able to hold her newborn securely in her arms.
Expressing her gratitude, Rashmi and her family thanked Dr. Ankita Mani and the entire team at Tender Palm Hospital for their expert care, support, and life-saving treatment during such a critical time.
Dr. Ankita Mani explained conditions like Placenta Accreta and Placenta Previa can be life-threatening if not treated correctly. But with early diagnosis, advanced medical methods, and skilled specialists, even complex pregnancies can be managed successfully.
At Tender Palm Super-Speciality Hospital in Lucknow, the team continues to offer advanced care for high-risk pregnancies, ensuring safe motherhood and healthy babies even in the toughest cases.
