Discover how cesarean hysterectomy, once a procedure shrouded in fear, has evolved into a life-saving operation with contributions from pioneering figures like Eduardo Porro and Lawson Tate. In this episode, we are joined by gynecologic oncologist Stuart Winkler, who shares invaluable insights into both unplanned and planned cesarean hysterectomies. Explore the primary indications for these critical surgeries, from uncontrollable bleeding in unplanned emergencies to managing known conditions like placenta accreta in planned scenarios. You'll gain a deep understanding of the strategic decision-making required, especially in resource-limited environments, to ensure the best outcomes for patients.

Navigate the complexities of performing cesarean hysterectomies under challenging circumstances, particularly when severe hemorrhage threatens patient safety. We delve into surgical tips and techniques, emphasizing the significance of early and careful bladder dissection, effective use of energy sealing devices, and confident decision-making. Our discussion highlights innovative strategies for uterine preservation in placenta accreta spectrum disorders, offering creative solutions when complete resection isn't feasible, and exploring new protocols that balance operative blood loss and patient fertility.

Finally, take a journey through the historical evolution of cesarean hysterectomy with us, as we trace its transformation from a fearful, last-resort measure to a cornerstone of modern obstetric care. Learn about the pivotal technological advancements that have shaped current practices, such as preoperative arterial occlusion techniques, equipping today's surgeons with a wide array of tools to tackle even the most complex cases. This episode promises a comprehensive blend of historical insights and practical advice, making it an essential listen for both seasoned professionals and those new to the field.
