PURPOSE OF REVIEW Placenta accreta is one of the leading causes of peripartum hemorrhage. The goal of this article is to review anesthetic management of parturients with placenta accreta and to examine a modern approach to massive peripartum hemorrhage. RECENT FINDINGS The incidence of placenta accreta is rising in parallel with the increased rate of cesarean delivery. If accreta is diagnosed...

Placenta accreta occurs when the deciduas basal is that separates the placental villi from the myometrium is missing. Classification is divided in 3 grades based on histopathologic analysis consisting on: placenta accreta, increate and percent.

Placenta accreta refers to any abnormally invasive placental implantation. Diagnosis is suspected postpartum with failed delivery of a retained placenta. Massive obstetrical hemorrhage is a known complication, often requiring peripartum hysterectomy. We report a case of presumed placenta accreta in a patient following failed manual removal of a retained placenta. We describe an attempt at conse...

BACKGROUND Placenta percreta is a rare obstetric condition associated with the risk of massive intraoperative hemorrhage. Recently, conservative management of placenta percreta has been performed to reduce maternal morbidity. However, various complications have been reported during such management. Only a few cases of asymptomatic disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) or fever without in...

Invasive placenta, often involving placenta accreta, placenta increta, and placenta percreta, is a life-threatening complication of pregnancy characterized by invasion of placental villi into the underlying myometrium. Invasive placenta is usually diagnosed as a result of abnormalities encountered during removal of the placenta at delivery. Because of profuse hemorrhaging in the early postpartu...

OBJECTIVES To determine the frequency of retained placenta at the University College Hospital Ibadan (UCH). and to describe the socio-demographic characteristics of the patients and examine the risk factors predisposing to retained placenta. METHODS This is a descriptive study covering a period of 5 years from January 1(st) 2002 to December 31(st) 2006. During the study period, 4980 deliverie...

Placenta percreta is a problem encountered with increasing frequency due to the rising rate of cesarean delivery. Conservative management of this condition is associated with decreased perioperative morbidity. When hysterectomy is necessary, a laparoscopic approach can provide additional benefits. We present the case of a woman with placenta percreta with bladder invasion who was undergoing co...
