“…The most important risk factors are previous caesarean delivery, placenta praevia, multiparity and advanced maternal age [14]. Up to 88 % of the women have concomitant placenta praevia [15,16].…”

Objectives The aim of the study was to identify the risk factors predisposing to morbidly adherent placenta and to study the different modes of management and the obstetric and neonatal outcome of these patients. Methods This was a retrospective cum prospective observational study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in a tertiary care referral hospital in Mumbai from January 2012 to November 2014. Results The incidence of morbidly adherent placenta was 1.32 per 1000 pregnancies with patient profile comprising second gravida in the age group 26-28 years; 90 % of the patients in this study had previous Caesarean section and co-existing placenta praevia was diagnosed in 63 %. Fiftythree per cent of the women delivered between 35 and 38 weeks and 40 % had elective deliveries. Caesarean section was the mode of delivery in 90 % of the patients. 123Prophylactic balloon placement in the internal iliac artery followed by classical Caesarean section, uterine artery embolization and post-operative methotrexate was done in 27 % which preserved the uterus and was associated the blood loss of 1000-2000 mL. Conclusion Antenatal diagnosis of morbidly adherent placenta allows for multidisciplinary planning in an attempt to minimize potential maternal or neonatal morbidity and mortality.

“…In the present study, among 8,502 deliveries over a six-year period, 20 gravid hysterectomies were performed due to placenta creta. The incidence of placenta creta seems to be increasing, possibly due to an increase in CS rates over the past decades (11). Placenta accreta and increta constitute the majority of creta cases, with placenta percreta occurring in only 5-7% of all creta cases.…”

“…[12][13][14] Placenta accreta is an increasingly common cause of major obstetric haemorrhage and caesarean hysterectomy, with apparent increase in frequency attributed for the most part on the rising caesarean section (CS) rate. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] We report our institutional experience with prophylactically-placed bilateral IIOBCs in patients with placenta accreta over a four-year period.…”
