Introduction And Importance: Placenta accreta is characterized by the abnormal attachment of the placenta to the myometrium without the usual presence of decidua in between. In its percreta form, this attachment extends deeply into the myometrial wall, reaching the serosa and occasionally affecting nearby organs like the bladder and rectum. The advancement of these conditions often leads to hemorrhagic complications, significantly jeopardizing maternal well-being.
