New surgical technique for placenta accreta with tourniquet
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new surgical technique for women with placenta accreta (a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus). The technique uses a special band (tourniquet) to reduce bleeding during surgery, compared to the standard approach. If you have had a C-section before and want to keep your uterus for future children, this study may be an option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your doctor has diagnosed you with placenta accreta (where the placenta is attached too deeply).
- You want to keep your uterus (to be able to have more children).
- You are at least 34 weeks pregnant.
- You are 40 years old or younger.
- You do not have serious chronic conditions like heart, kidney, diabetes, or liver disease.

This trial studies a simpler, non-surgical approach to managing a condition called morbidly adherent placenta (where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus). It is for people who are at least 28 weeks pregnant, have placenta previa, and are not having heavy bleeding.
This study tests a planned surgical approach for placenta accreta (when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall) in women who have had a previous c-section. If you are at least 28 weeks pregnant and have been diagnosed with this condition, the trial aims to see if a conservative surgery can help safely manage it.
This trial compares two surgical methods for managing placenta accreta spectrum (a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall). It tests whether a less invasive approach (tamponade) works as well as removing part of the uterus (partial myometrial resection) in women having a cesarean section.
This study compares two ways to separate the bladder from the uterus during a C-section for women with a deeply attached placenta (placenta accreta). The goal is to find which approach is safer and leads to fewer complications.
This trial looks at how to diagnose and what happens to pregnant women with a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus (placental accreta). It may help doctors better understand the condition and improve care.
This trial tests a new classification system for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall. It aims to see if this system helps predict outcomes and improve care for pregnant people who need surgery for PAS.
