- Abstract
<bold><italic>Objective:</italic></bold> The aim of this article is to describe a hysterectomy technique for managing selected difficult cases of placenta accreta. <bold><italic>Background:</italic></bold> Cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta is associated with a significant amount of maternal morbidity. Intraoperative hemorrhage and urinary-tract injury are some of the more-frequent complications encountered. Most women with placenta accreta have undergone at least one prior cesarean delivery, increasing the risk of adhesions and scar tissue. <bold><italic>Results and Conclusions:</italic></bold> The current authors' technique for an extended hysterectomy in selected high-risk cases of placenta accreta/percreta is designed to reduce the risk of hemorrhage and urinary tract injuries.
