Placenta and Transvaginal Sonography

Abstract

ABSTRACT In recent years, transvaginal evaluation of the placenta has completely changed the way obstetricians need to perceive and assess a low-lying placenta. Additionally, the number of negative ultrasound examinations in morbid placental adherence has reduced. This article presents the evidence on the safety and accuracy of transvaginal placental evaluation and goes on to discuss the manner in which transvaginal findings should alter clinical protocols to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes. It also answers a very pertinent clinical question: How low is low? How to cite this article Khurana A. Placenta and Transvaginal Sonography.
