Transverse B-Lynch in Management of Placenta Accreta

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Transverse B-Lynch in Management of Placenta Accreta

Life-threatening bleeding is the most common complication to be associated with this condition; the average blood loss at time of delivery is reported to be 3000-5500 mL, which leads to significant postoperative morbidity and death.
