Doctors at the Leleka Multidisciplinary Medical Center in Kyiv have performed a unique surgery on a pregnant woman with a rare pathology, placental accretion, which poses extremely high risks to the life and health of mother and child.
As the clinic told Interfax-Ukraine, the operation was performed on a patient who was pregnant for the third time, but the pregnancy was complicated and the woman was diagnosed with placenta accreta spectrum at an early stage.
“After the pathology was detected, the doctors the couple consulted assured them that the patient would not be able to bear and give birth to a child. Moreover, even if she succeeded, the uterus would have to be removed. She was also warned about the risks to her life. But they unanimously sent her for an abortion. This is a very rare pathology,” Leleka says.
However, after numerous consultations in various clinics, the patient turned to Leleka, where they took on this complex case, the main risk of which is a large blood loss.
“This is not an ordinary caesarean section. Such a manipulation requires a multidisciplinary approach, several specialists in different fields should work with the woman in labor using the latest technologies and modern equipment. That is why the operation involved a team of three teams of surgeons – obstetricians, gynecologists, urologists and vascular surgeons – who worked according to a clear algorithm. As a result, a complex organ-preserving operation was performed: a corporal cesarean section with placental excision and metroplasty,” the clinic said.
The team of doctors used blood-saving technologies, including an aortic balloon and a modern Cell saver (autohemotransfusion system), which minimized blood loss and reduced the use of donor blood.
“The doctors managed to perform a successful operation. The woman in labor managed to preserve her uterus and, if she wishes, she can become a mother for the fourth time,” the clinic said.
The patient and her newborn daughter are now at home, both healthy and feeling well.

Therefore, we decided to launch new medical areas and transform from a women-only clinic into a multidisciplinary medical center,” Valery Zukin, General Director of the Leleka Medical Center, is quoted in a press release.
