BACKGROUND The prevalence of Placenta Accreta Spectrum(PAS) is increasing rapidly linked with the cesarean rate increase worldwide, creating a threatening condition from severe postpartum hemorrhage to various maternal morbidities. The socio-economic imbalance, geographical, qualification, and specialty variations of the previous cesarean delivery healthcare facilities resulted in assessment and management difficulties. OBJECTIVE To assess variations of prior cesarean delivery healthcare facilities on pregnancy outcomes on current PAS with Placenta Previa. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary referral center from Nov.2015 to Nov.2020 in central China. Healthcare facilities were classified by geographical, hospital grading, ownership, and specialty variations. The primary outcome was postpartum hemorrhage(PPH), secondary outcomes included Placenta Percreta and maternal-fetal morbidities. RESULTS In total, 252 patients were enrolled, 58(23%) patients had Placenta Accreta, 131(52%) had Placenta Increta and 63(25%) had Placenta Percreta. The overall incidence of PPH was 47.2%(119 out of 252). As the administrative geographical level becoming smaller and more distant, PPH incidence climbed up: province-level(10, 32.3%), prefecture-level(65, 48.5%), county-level(30, 42.3%), and rural township(14, 82.5%), P for trend= 0.019. The odds of PPH in rural township clinics was 5.84(P=0.03, 95%CI 1.18~28.77) compared to the province-level hospitals. Similarly, when hospital grades declined, PPH incidence raised: tertiary(26, 39.4%), secondary(28, 43.8%), primary(14, 38.9%) and unclassified(51, 59.3%), P for trend= 0.047. Unclassified hospitals had 2.16(P= 0.046, 95%CI 1.02~4.61) times odds of PPH compared to tertiary medical centers. PPH showed no statistical significance based on ownership or specialty variations. Also, Placenta Percreta increased when geographical location shifted from urban to rural: three (9.7%) from province-level, 34(25.6%) from prefecture-level, 18(25.4%) from county-level and eight(47.1%) from rural township clinics, P= 0.04, P for trend =0.018. Patients with previous rural township clinics cesarean delivery had a 7.49 times risk((P=0.011, 95%CI 1.59~35.19) of developing Placenta Percreta compared with province-level hospitals. CONCLUSIONS Healthcare facilities variations of the previous cesarean delivery have upcoming impacts on subsequent pregnancy. The tendency of experiencing adverse maternal outcomes is more significant with prior cesarean in the rural township clinics and unclassified hospitals. The findings call for physicians’ alertness, persistent efforts in urban-rural disparity reduction, and measures to achieve equitable management.

The placenta accreta designates an abnormality of the placental insertion characterized, on the anatomopathological level, by an absence of deciduous deciduous between the placenta and the myometrium. This insertion anomaly may interest all or only part of the placenta. We distinguish within this terminology the terms of - placenta accreta when the placenta is simply attached to the Myometrium. - placenta increta when the placenta invades the myometrium. - placenta percreta when the placenta enters the serosa uterine, or even the neighboring organs (bladder, peritoneum, etc.) [1]. Placentas accretas are a high-risk situation for severe postpartum hemorrhage and its inherent complications such as disseminated intravascular coagulation, hemostasis hysterectomy, surgical wounds to the ureters, bladder, multiple organ failure, or even maternal death, particularly in the case of placenta percreta [2,3]. Risk factors for placenta percreta include a history of cesarean, uterine curettage or manual removal of placenta, presence of placenta previa, endometriosis, high parity and advanced maternal age [4]. We report the case of a 30-year-old woman, IIGIIP, who had a previous cesarean section during her first pregnancy and who had a placenta percreta and who underwent hysterectomy without cystectomy and without ligation of the hypogastric arteries.

Background and objectives: Placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum are considered major causes of massive postpartum hemorrhage. Objective: To determine whether the placement of an occlusion balloon catheter in the internal iliac artery could reduce bleeding and other related complications during cesarean delivery in patients with placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted at two tertiary obstetric units of Lithuania. From January 2016 to November 2019 patients with placenta previa and antenatally suspected invasive placenta were included in the intervention group and underwent cesarean delivery with endovascular procedure. From January 2014 to December 2015 patients with placenta previa and suspected placenta accreta spectrum were included in the non-intervention group. The primary outcomes were reduction in intraoperative blood loss and transfusion volumes in the intervention group. Secondary outcomes were the incidence of hysterectomy and maternal complications. Results: Nineteen patients underwent cesarean delivery with preoperative endovascular procedure, and 47 women underwent elective cesarean delivery. The median intraoperative blood loss (1000 (400–4500) mL vs. 1000 (400–5000) mL; p = 0.616) and the need for red blood cell transfusion during operation (26% vs. 23%; p = 0.517) did not differ significantly between the patients groups. Seven patients in the intervention group and two patients in the non-intervention group underwent perioperative hysterectomy (p = 0.002). None of the patients had complications related to the endovascular procedure. Conclusion: The use of intermittent balloon occlusion catheter in patients with placenta pathology is a safe method but does not significantly reduce intraoperative blood loss during cesarean delivery.

Background: Placenta accreta spectrum is one of the most serious complications of placenta previa and is frequently associated with severe obstetric hemorrhage usually necessitating hysterectomy. The management of placenta accrete spectrum will be discussed here and is essentially the same. The following discussion of management of placenta accreta spectrum applies to all depths of placental invasion. Incidence: In 1950 placentaaccreta was rare, occurring 1 in 30.000 deliveries in the United States. Duringbetween 2008 and 2011 in a cohort of over 115.000 deliveries in 25 hospitals in the United States reaching 1 in 731 deliveries. The marked increase has been attributed to the increasing prevalence of cesarean delivery in recent decades.The incidence of placenta accreta spectrum will also increase due to increasing of caesarean section rate. Case: Mrs.44 yo, G3P2 36-37weekslive, previous cesarean section 2 time,placenta previa totalis, placenta percreta. She’s comes with a chief complaint of lower abdominal cramps, patients regularly antenatal care at obstetrician. Ultrasound finding, a single fetus lives at transvers lie, dorso superior, corresponding to 36-37 weeks, placenta previa, placenta percreta (PAI:83%). This patient planned for elective conservative surgery management, due to cesarean section and or cesarean hysterectomy. Discussion:Surgical conservative management giving birth a baby without a placenta, followed by a hysterectomy, has been shown to reduce the risk of bleeding and the need for blood transfusion. The discovery of placenta accreta spectrum earlier when antenatal care, better birth planning than multidisciplinary science includedfetomaternal, gyneco-oncologist, anesthesiologist, thorac& cardiovascular surgeon, radiology intervention, intensivist - obstetric intensive care, urologist and neonatology can determine the success of handling cases of placenta accreta spectrum so as to reduce maternal, fetal morbidity and mortality. Conclusions:  The discovery of placenta accreta spectrum earlier when antenatal care, planning delivery is better than multidisciplinary science. Management with corporal incisions away from placental implantation, giving birth baby without a placenta, followed by a hysterectomy, has been shown to reduce the risk of bleeding and the need for blood transfusion.

There has been an increased incidence of placenta accreta in recent decades, which is associated with an increase in cesarean delivery. A woman aged 39 years GIVP1111 at 8 months of gestation was a breech location with antepartum bleeding et. causa placenta previa totalis suspected percreta bladder infiltration and hematuria. The last abdominal ultrasound showed no visible clot retention and mild right-sided hydronephrosis (possibly a physiological condition). Due to doubts regarding the suspicion of placental invasion of the bladder, an MRI examination of the abdomen was performed. A network was irregular in shape and can not be oriented either right or left, some of which have been split. Attached to the placenta. It was not clear that the cervix and bladder were visible, the total weight was 500 grams, the size was 15x13x5 cm. Based on both macroscopic and microscopic histopathological examinations, it could be concluded that the uterus, adnexa, surgery: placenta percreta, adenomyosis uteri.

Placenta percreta is the most complicated degree of the placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). It involves placental invasion through the uterine myometrium and into, or beyond, the uterine serosa, which can ultimately lead to severe maternal hemorrhage. Placenta previa is often associated with PAS and can be a significant indicator, along with other clinical factors. Sonography has historically been a highly accurate and safe imaging modality to assess the PAS. This specific case examines a patient with a pathologically proven percreta with an associated previa and succenturiate placental lobe.

Abstract Background Placenta accreta is a potentially life-threatening obstetric condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach to management. The incidence of placenta accreta has increased and seems to parallel the increasing cesarean delivery rate. Women at greatest risk of placenta accreta are those who have myometrial damage caused by a previous cesarean delivery with either an anterior or posterior placenta previa overlying the uterine scar. Diagnosis of placenta accreta before delivery allows multidisciplinary planning in an attempt to minimize potential maternal or neonatal morbidity and mortality. Aim of the Work To compare between alpha-fetoproteine as biological marker & ultrasound & Doppler findings for prenatal predication of morbid adherent placentation in anterior placenta on scar of previous cesarean section. Patients and Methods The current study is a prospective cohort study, conducted at a tertiary center: Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital during the period between February 2018 and April 2019,where 150 pregnant women having placenta previa covering scar of previous uterine surgery had been recruited from the outpatient obstetrics clinic or emergency room and admitted to antepartum inpatient high risk service, but 50 patients were dropped out due to loss in follow up because of emergency antepartum haemorrhage & C.S., others escaped follow up. Results The results of the current study showed a significant association between all criteria of the 3DPD with multislice view and presence of placental adherence, need for added surgical steps, CS hysterectomy and bladder injury with sensitivity 83% & specificity 57%, PPV 76%, NPV 66%. Conclusion The current study suggests that AFP assay, it isn't good test alone as regards its sensitivity &specificity &its level of accuracy 55% as compared to 2D &3D power doppler with multislice view, so it is unreliable test alone for antenatal diagnosis of morbidly adherent placenta.

Accreta placenta spectrum is a complex obstetrical condition of abnormal placental invasion associated with severe maternal morbidity. This study aimed to analyze our therapeutic management and counseling of the cases with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) associated with placenta previa. We performed a retrospective study of pregnant women with PAS associated with placenta previa at the Filantropia Clinical Hospital between January 2017–April 2021. In these cases, the earlier diagnosis was realized by an ultrasonographic scan and was confirmed by histopathological findings after the surgical treatment. The conservative management was obtained in one case at <37 weeks of gestation, and the maternal outcome was uterine preservation. Among the 12 patients, the mean age was 34±3.44 years. All women had risk factors for abnormally invasive placenta, such as placenta previa or previous cesarean delivery. Most women underwent planned cesarean delivery at the mean gestational age of 36.4±0.9 weeks. In our study, the uterus was preserved in only one case (8.33%), and hysterectomy with preservation of ovaries was performed in the rest of the cases. Mean maternal blood loss during surgery was 2175±1440 ml. Severe maternal outcomes were recorded only in one case (8.33%). We identified a low uterine preservation rate and a good perinatal outcome. Conservative management should be reserved for fertility desire and extensive disease due to surgical difficulty. Early identification of the risk factors and strategic management may improve maternal and fetal outcomes.

Placenta accreta is a severe pregnancy complication and is currently the most common indication for peripartum hysterectomy. It is becoming an increasingly common complication mainly due to the increasing rate of cesarean delivery. Main risk factor for placenta accreta is a previous cesarean delivery particularly when accompanied with a coexisting placenta previa. Antenatal diagnosis seems to be a key factor in optimizing maternal outcome. Diagnosis can be achieved by ultrasound in the majority of cases. Women with placenta accreta are usually delivered by a cesarean section. In order to avoid an emergency cesarean and to minimize complications of prematurity it is acceptable to schedule cesarean at 34 to 35 weeks. A multidisciplinary team approach and delivery at a center with adequate resources, including those for massive transfusion are both essential to reduce neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. The optimal management after delivery of the neonate is vague since randomized controlled trials and large cohort studies are lacking. Cesarean hysterectomy is probably the preferable treatment. In carefully selected cases, when fertility is desired, conservative management may be considered with caution. The current review discusses the epidemiology, predisposing factors, pathogenesis, diagnostic methods, clinical implications and management options of this condition.

Objective: This study was carried out to determine whether the rate of abnormal placentation is increasing in concurrence with the cesarean section and to assess risk factors and outcomes with multidisciplinary team interventions and anesthetic practices. Study design: Prospective cohort study. Material & Methods: A study was conducted in the department of anaesthesia from January 2014 to December 2017. All candidates under the spectrum of placenta accreta were observed for maternal age, parity, mode of anesthesia, blood loss, and outcome. Results: Out of 109 patients, the preoperative diagnosis of PAS was made up of 100 (91.74%) and intraoperative diagnosis of 9 (08. 26%) patients. According to the mode of anesthesia, 100 (91.74%) patients received GA, and 09 (08.26%) patients received spinal anesthesia. In 06 (05.49%) patients, spinal was converted to GA. Perioperative CPR was done in 05 (04.58%) cases. Out of 109 cases, 83 survived uneventfully, and 21 developed complications. 05 patients expired in the following days. (01 immediately postoperative period, 02 in 1st 24 hours and 02 in 1st 48 hours. Conclusion The rate of placenta accreta increased in conjunction with cesarean deliveries; the most important risk factors were previous cesarean delivery, placenta previa, and advanced maternal age and outcomes improved in a multidisciplinary team intervention.
