Placenta percreta managed by transverse uterine fundal incision with retrograde cesarean hysterectomy: a novel surgical approach

Abstract

Placenta percreta (with bladder invasion) is a rare obstetric condition with the risk of massive intraoperative hemorrhage. In these cases, the combination of a transverse uterine fundal incision and retrograde cesarean hysterectomy could be useful to minimize maternal hemorrhage and avoid severe bladder injury.
