Background: Cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum disorder may be associated with severe hemorrhage because of placental invasion of the myometrium and the uterovesical space or parametrium. It leads to serious complications, such as massive hemorrhage requiring massive transfusion, coagulopathy, bladder and ureteric injuries, need for intensive care unit admission and prolonged hospital stay. To reduce the complications of cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum disorder, ongoing efforts are being made to develop different surgical approaches.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) refers to the abnormal adhesion of the placenta to the myometrium, with varying degrees of severity.

The condition is linked to deficient decidualization in scarred uterine tissue, and the risk increases when placenta previa is present and with each prior cesarean delivery.
