her hope of having children
The Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at King Salman Hospital succeeded in saving the life of a resident (Syrian) from death, with the hope of having children again, God willing. The patient was suffering from severe abdominal pain with menopause, and she was given an ultrasound, and it was found that she had a pregnancy inside the abdominal cavity. The operation was attended by medical staff from several complementary specialties (urology - general surgery - vascular surgery), where the treating team met in the operating room and the operation was performed by opening the patient''s abdomen and extracting the dead fetus from the abdominal cavity inside the pregnancy sac and during the removal of rare parts of the placenta, there was more surprise. It is rare that a part of the placenta was attached to the place of the cesarean section wound in the front wall of the uterus, which led to the explosion of the uterus and the exit of the fetus into the abdominal cavity. All parts of the placenta were removed and the integrity of all organs inside the abdomen in the urinary system, digestive system and blood vessels were confirmed, then the team repaired the rupture of the uterus so that there was a chance for the patient to give birth again, and the patient and her husband were advised of the need to delay pregnancy for a period of three years with close follow-up during pregnancy And the delivery of a cesarean section at the end of the eighth month so that the uterus is not exposed to rupture again.
The head of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, King Salman Hospital Dr. Naima Al-Shanqeeti said that the danger in this case comes because the X-ray has shown that there is a pregnancy inside the abdominal cavity completely outside the reproductive system, and the fetus is dead at the age of 5 months.
An ectopic pregnancy causes a life-threatening risk to the mother, and this risk is at the top of her bike when it is in the abdominal cavity.
They are two types
Type 1: It starts from the beginning in the abdominal cavity.
The second type: It starts from inside the uterus or outside it in one of the tubes and then moves for one reason or another to the abdominal cavity and here lies the greatest risk, as the removal of parts of the placenta from the abdominal cavity may expose other parts to damage.
