In the perinatal center of Ufa, doctors rescued a pregnant patient and her child. The woman came in with placenta previa and two scars on the uterus after cesarean sections.

It was attended by obstetricians-gynecologists, anesthesiologists-resuscitators, neonatologists and transfusiologists. During the operation, the patient was transfused with her own blood, the procedure was performed for 36 weeks and 4 days.

Surgeons managed to save the woman's uterus and successfully extract the baby weighing 3280 grams and 53 cm tall. In the first minute, the neonatologist estimated his condition by 6 points on the Apgar scale, but in the fifth minute managed to stabilize his condition to 8 points.

“Such delivery is in the group of ultra-high obstetric and surgical risk,” the minister wrote. Thanks to the professionalism of doctors and well-coordinated teamwork, a healthy boy was born, and my mother preserved reproductive health.
