Case ReportsFollow up of the regression of the placenta left in situ in an advanced abdominal pregnancy using the Cavalieri method.
In this abdominal pregnancy, the dead fetus was delivered through an abdominal incision at the 36th gestational week. The placenta invaded the small intestine and the omentum was left in situ. ⋯ It was seen that the placental volume had decreased by 83% at the end of 1 year. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time this method has been used for this purpose.
