Management of Retained Placenta With the "Windmill" Technique of Umbilical Cord Traction

Germany70 participantsStarted 2019-06-13

Plain-language summary

The incidence of leftover placenta after vaginal delivery is between 0.1% and 3.3%, with a maternal mortality of up to 10% reported. The traditional management is ultimately the manual removal of the retained placenta (MROP) in the operating room. However, MROP itself increases the risk of further bleeding, postpartum infection, uterine perforation and inversion of the uterus. In a preliminary study with a small cohort, the "Windmill Technique" has already been successfully tested.
