Abstract

Placenta percreta accompanied by intraabdominal hemorrhage and acute abdomen in the second trimester is described. Suturing the myometrial defect created by the protruding placenta prolonged the pregnancy and achieved a viable fetus. Successful achievement of hemostasis, prolongation of the pregnancy, and survival of mother and fetus should encourage “conservative” surgery. (AM J OBSTET GYNECOL 1994;170:1388-9.)
