About this study

Official title: Validity of Internal Iliac Artery Ligation With Cervico Isthmic Compression Suture During Conservative Management of Placenta Accreta Spectrum

Vessels ligation have been used as a part of conservative management in treatment of placenta accrete spectrum to decrease blood loss as uterine artery ligation and internal iliac artery ligation. Surgical ligation of the anterior divisions of the internal iliac artery is practiced by many tertiary care centers during management of women with PAS disorders. However there is no recommendation toward the routine use of internal iliac artery ligation before bladder dissection during conservative management of (placenta accrete spectrum). The retroperitoneal space will be dissected and bifurcation of common iliac vessels will be identified, After identifying the ureter, the internal iliac artery will be dissected on both sides away from surrounding tissues and from adjacent iliac vein. The anterior branch of each internal iliac artery will be then prophylactically ligated using suture ligation approximately 2-3 cm distal to common iliac artery bifurcation in order to avoid ligation of the posterior division. Principal investigators will conduct a study to evaluate the efficacy of internal iliac artery ligation before bladder dissection during conservative management using cervico isthmic compression suture in cases of Placenta accrete spectrum.

Read the detailed description

Surgical technique for all participants will be (Cervico isthmic compression suture)

Steps:

  • Abdominal wall Incision will be done either in the midline or transverse suprapubic incision.
  • Opening the abdominal wall in layers.
  • Uterine incision will be done at the upper border of the placenta determined at laparotomy by naked eye.
  • Delivery of the baby. Then the placenta will be left in place till doing devascularisation and bladder dissection
  • Participants then will be, divided into two groups Participants in internal iliac group will undergo internal iliac artery ligation before bladder dissection Participants in no internal iliac artery group will undergo bladder dissection immediately without internal iliac artery ligation
Being tested
Internal iliac artery ligation with cervicoisthmic compression suture, Cervicoisthmic compression suture without Internal iliac artery ligation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Estimation of blood loss

    The sum of a) Difference in Towels weighting dry \& soaked . b) Volume of blood in suction apparatus. estimating the difference in Hemoglobin and Hematocrit before and after operation. estimating the number of packed red blood cells units transfused.

    Measured: During surgery from the start of uterine incision till closure of abdominal wall

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Complication rates,

    the incidence of anesthetic, urologic injury, vascular injury, need of hysterectomy and intensive care unit admission.

    Measured: from the induction of anesthesia till 24 hours after the end of surgery

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Estimation of blood loss (time frame: During surgery from the start of uterine incision till closure of abdominal wall). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04593303, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Apr 2022.
