Recurrent Placenta Percreta in Patients Who Underwent Previous Uterus Sparing Surgery for Placenta Percreta: An Unusual Case Report

ABSTRACT
Placenta percreta (PP) is an urgent, life-threatening obstetric pathology. While the gold standard for treatment has been peripartum hysterectomy, recently uterus-sparing treatment approaches have become prominent. There are few articles in the literature about subsequent pregnancies and PP recurrences in patients who underwent uterine-sparing treatment for PP. We present the case of a patient who underwent uterus-sparing surgery for PP in a previous pregnancy and was admitted to hospital with acute abdominal pain as a result of uterine rupture related to PP in her present pregnancy.
