Minimizing abdominal incision for transverse uterine fundal incision by aspiration of amniotic fluid and reduction of uterine size

摘要

Aim Transverse uterine fundal incision (TUFI) was developed to avoid catastrophic hemorrhage associated with cesarean section of the placenta previa-accreta. Abdominal incisions extend as far as the upper abdomen in patients in the third trimester of pregnancy and require general anesthesia. Instead, we tried to aspirate amniotic fluid (AF) to reduce the uterine size.
