AB Key  TermsEndomyometritis:  puerperal  infection  involving  the  endometrium  and  myometrium,  usually  involving  multiple  bacterial  organisms  including  gram-positive  and  gram-negative  enteric  organisms  and  anaerobic  bacteria.  The  patient  usually  manifests  fever  and  uterine  tenderness  and  is  postpartum,  especially  after  a  cesarean.Hepatic  subcapsular  hematoma:  bleeding  into  the  liver  parenchyma  leading  to  a  collection  of  blood  distending  the  liver  capsule.  This  condition,  a  complication  of  preeclampsia,  puts  the  patient  at  risk  for  hematoma  rupture  and  life-threatening  bleeding.Ovarian  vein  thrombosis:  a  condition  where  pelvic  veins  involving  the  gonadal  vein  have  a  thrombus  (clot),  which  is  usually  infected.  The  patient  usually  presents  with  fever  and  lateral  abdominal  pain  and  may  have  a  palpable  pelvic  mass.Placenta  accreta:  abnormal  adherence  of  the  placenta  to  the  uterine  lining,  usually  due  to  abnormal  placental  penetration  into  large  fragments  of  the  decidual  layer  of  the  endometrium.  This  condition  is  increased  by  the  number  of  prior  cesareans  and  placenta  previa.Postpartum  hemorrhage:  bleeding  after  delivery  traditionally  exceeding  500  mL  on  a  vaginal  delivery,  and  1000  mL  on  a  cesarean  delivery.  Early  postpartum  hemorrhage  is  less  than  24  hours  after  the  delivery,  and  late  postpartum  hemorrhage  means  exceeding  24  hours  after  delivery.Puerperium:  the  time  after  delivery  until  6  weeks  postpartum.Retained  placenta:  substantial  amount  of  chorionic  villi  and  products  of  conception  retained  in  the  uterus,  typically  causing  bleeding  or  infection.
