Placenta percreta with invasion of the bladder wall: management with a multi-disciplinary approach

J Clin Anesth. 2010 May;22(3):209-12. doi: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2009.03.018.

Abstract

Placenta percreta with pelvic organ invasion carries a high mortality for mother and fetus. Appropriate multidisciplinary consultation, strategy, and preoperative planning for Cesarean hysterectomy permitted caregivers to provide a maternal-infant bonding experience, surgical hemostasis, preservation of bladder function, and a healthy, vigorous neonate.
