Simplified Conservative Measures in Managing Morbidly Adherent Placenta in Beni-Suef University

bilateral uterine artery ligations as described by O- lreay technique in addition to standard conservative methods. Briefly two large vicryl stitches were passed using a large sized needle below and lateral to the lower edge of the uterine incision angle in anteroposterior direction and then redirected from back to the front through avascular window in the posterior leaf of the broad ligament just lateral to the uterine border taking care to avoid injury to bowel posteriorly or bladder/ureter anteriorly. The stitches were tied securely anteriorly

"1. Pack Douglas- pouch with a towel.~2. Straight the used vicryl needle mostly no 1.~3. Try to compress and approximate anterior and posterior uterine walls.~4. Start from anterior to posterior 3- 4 cm medial to lateral uterine margin and then pass from posterior to anterior through avascular area in the broad ligament. And we repeat the procedure on the other side. We can repeat this method of uterine ligation at another different plane if needed."
