A Prospective Observational Study of Sonographic Placental Localization in Scarred and Unscarred Uteri and its Correlation with Obstetric Outcome
Abstract: Objective: To study the placental location in scarred and unscarred uteri. Methods: In this prospective observational study, women in third trimester admitted to the labour room in the hospital were recruited. The placental location was studied according to the third trimester ultrasound findings and classified as anterior, posterior, fundal, or low lying. Results: Most common location of placenta seen in scarred uterus cases was anterior (47%) followed by posterior (37.1%) and fundal (13.7%). Most common location of placenta seen in non-scarred uterus cases was posterior (44.6%) followed by anterior (37.9%) and fundal (15.5%). Conclusion: Anterior position of placenta was commonly observed in scarred uterus while posterior placenta was common in non-scarred uterus. Scarred uterus and anterior placement of placenta both were significantly associated with caesarean deliveries.
