We examined antenatal risk factors favouring diagnosis,peripartum morbidity and different management approaches such as vaginal delivery and curettage,by planned or emergency hysterectomy.</p> <p>Results: 18 cases were studied showing a proportion of1.48 per 1000 live births. The median age for diagnosis was made around 33 weeks of gestationusing ultrasonography evidence in 77% of cases. Placenta accreta was seen in 66%, placenta incretain 27% and percreta in 5%. the median amount of blood loss was around 2500 ml, 83% of casesrequired blood transfusions, 44% required ICU admission and 27% of newborns required NICUadmission</p> <p>Conclusion: PAS should be managed with a well-coordinated team in good settings toreduce maternal morbidity and mortality preferably at the tertiary care level</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Obs Gyne Review: Journal of Obstetric and Gynecology}, author={Greeshma Pentela and Manisha M Laddad and Nitin S Kshirsagar}, year={2022}, month={Jun.}, pages={12-18} }
