Placenta Percreta Managed by Ultrasound-Guided Vertical Transfundal Uterine Incision with Hysterectomy: Case Report

Abstract

Placenta accreta spectrum is an obstetrics complication in which the placenta has abnormally adhered to the decidua and uterine wall. Placenta percreta is the rarest and sternest variant of accreta syndrome. In this study, we present a case of placenta percreta where we have done ultrasound-guided trans fundal vertical uterine incision to deliver a healthy fetus and subsequent cesarean hysterectomy. Antepartum diagnosis, involvement of a multidisciplinary team, appropriate counseling of women and their families, ultrasound guidance for placental margin demarcation, and vertical transfundal uterine incision can be considered for patients with placenta percreta.
