**Procedures Led by Obstetrician-Gynecologist and Laparoscopic Surgeon Dr. Ritika Pathak**
Paras HEC Hospital, Ranchi successfully managed two highly complex and high-risk cases of **Placenta Percreta with Bladder Invasion**, one of the most challenging conditions in obstetrics. The surgeries were led by **Dr. Ritika Pathak**, Senior Obstetrician & Gynecologist and Laparoscopic Surgeon.
Both patients had a history of previous cesarean deliveries and were diagnosed during pregnancy with Placenta Percreta, a severe condition in which the placenta grows through the uterine wall and invades nearby organs, particularly the urinary bladder. Such cases carry a significant risk of life-threatening bleeding, organ injury, and maternal mortality.
Due to the complexity of the condition, both patients had reportedly been denied treatment at multiple healthcare facilities before being referred to Paras HEC Hospital. A detailed pre-operative plan was developed, involving a multidisciplinary team comprising specialists from anesthesiology, critical care, blood bank services, urology, neonatology, and surgical support.
The surgical team first performed safe cesarean deliveries, followed by **cesarean hysterectomies** to prevent catastrophic bleeding. Bilateral internal iliac artery ligation was carried out to control blood loss, while partial cystectomy was required because of placental invasion into the bladder.
Both surgeries were completed successfully using advanced surgical expertise, modern infrastructure, and coordinated multidisciplinary care. The mothers remained stable throughout their recovery and were discharged within five days. Both newborns were healthy, and follow-up assessments confirmed that the mothers had recovered well.
This successful outcome highlights Paras HEC Hospital Ranchi's ability to manage some of the most complex obstetric emergencies, ensuring advanced maternal and fetal care closer to home for patients across Jharkhand.
