Successful Resection of a Cervical Pregnancy with Original Diagnosis of Bladder Wall Invasion and Rupture Potential

Abstract

The use of modified surgical procedures, step-by-step, is a good alternative to total hysterectomy for managing cervical pregnancies that require urgent attention.

Second Trimester Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy and Hemorrhage: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…Alternatively, the arterial branches supporting the cervix may be ligated via abdominal, laparoscopic, or vaginal approaches. Hu and colleagues described a patient who presented with profuse vaginal bleeding due to a 9-week cervical ectopic pregnancy [ 6 ]. Following exploratory laparotomy, the broad ligament was incised and the uterocervical junction was compressed with an 18F Foley catheter and tied off.…”

Uterine preservation in a woman with spontaneous uterine rupture secondary to placenta percreta on the posterior wall: A case report

“…Stepwise treatment or a combination of the above‐mentioned strategies was frequently used, 27 but the key factor for successful preservation of the uterus in cases of placenta percreta is minimizing blood loss 28 . To achieve this goal, many strategies might be tried, including diluted vasopressin, oxytocin, methylergonovine, balloon traction or compression, and vessel occlusion 29 . Among these, vessel occlusion might be of the greatest significance in reducing intraoperative blood loss and transfusion requirements, 1,7,9,30–32 although some controversy still exists 33,34 .…”

Port wound closure assisted by Foley catheter: An easier way to provide fascia security

“…Besides its drainage function in clinical use, the Foley catheter has been frequently used to assist in different surgical procedures, and is of great value. For example, the Foley catheter has been used in vesicovaginal or rectovaginal fistula repair, 27 the hemostasis of small wounds, 28–33 and induction labor 34 . Nearly all of these uses were based on the fundamental role of the compression effect by an inflated balloon and the traction effect by the Foley with an inflated balloon.…”
