A case report of Placenta Percreta Managed by Elective Cesarean Hysterectomy

Siraj Fathima T, Shanthi C, Gayathiri M .

Abstract


Placenta percreta is a rare pregnancy disorder in which  placenta penetrates the uterine myometrium and can invade surrounding  organs. Because the rate of cesarean sections is increasing, incidence of placenta percreta is also rising. This condition significantly increases the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, and is currently the most common indication for peripartum hysterectomy. Multidisciplinary management in a specialized center capable of providing massive transfusions can improve outcomes for the mother and the baby. The team should include  experienced obstetrician, anaesthetist , urologist, vascular surgeon, blood bank team. In this report , we present a case of a patient with preoperatively diagnosed placenta percreta and discuss the relevant obstetrics  and anaesthetic management methods ,diagnostic & transfusion protocols.
