The incidence of abnormal placentation is increasing as a result of the rise in the cesarean delivery rate. Management of placenta percreta involving the urinary bladder often requires extensive surgery including bladder resection. A 27-year-old woman with placenta previa percreta that invaded the urinary bladder underwent delayed total laparoscopic hysterectomy performed after the portion of the placenta invading the bladder had regressed.
