According to a study from Italy, "a 29-year-old woman with an abdominal pregnancy was admitted to the hospital at 29 weeks' menstrual age. At 30 weeks, laparotomy was performed, and a live fetus, wrapped in membrane remnants, was taken from the abdominal cavity. The placenta, inserted in the right hemipelvis, was left in situ."
"The patient's postoperative recovery was uneventful, and she was monitored periodically as follow-up. At her 5-year follow-up visit, we assessed placental involution by measuring serum P human chorionic gonadotropin and by using color and pulsed Doppler sonography," stated M.
